Maybe the symbol do is interpreted as a macro only if it is found in the first position, elsewhere it is interpreted as a variable (or function) name.

It is. Unfortunately this means, as I mentioned, that if you happen to do something like:

  (let obj (table)
       (= (obj 1) 1)
       (obj 1))

... it will fail, miserably.
