To make this work for functions, you need to add ((procedure? s) s) to 'ac. Otherwise with arc2.tar:

  arc> (mac dont-break (a b) `(,list ,a ,b))
  #3(tagged mac #<procedure>)
  arc> (let list nil (dont-break 1 2))
  Error: "Bad object in expression #<procedure: list>"
Macros still remain a problem:

  (mac list-macro parms `(,list ,@parms))
  (mac break (a b) `(,list-macro ,a ,b))
  (break 1 2) => Error

I stand corrected, it worked in Anarki :)

And yeah, it obviously wouldn't work for macros, but macros don't get shadowed by let blocks in the first place.

    (mac list-macro args `(list ,@args))
    (mac dont-break (a b) `(list-macro ,a ,b))
    (let list-macro nil (dont-break 1 2))  =>  (1 2)
