Yes.  I didn't phrase my comments well.  Sorry.

Sure, but isn't this essentially a macro?  (If it *isn't*, then I'm missing
something... which could very well be the case).

What I meant to say was more along the lines of "if this could be done as a
macro, does it need to be a pragma, or could it be part of a standard macro
package?"

And, secondly, "if this *is* part of a standard macro package, wouldn't it
be cool to let it shove arbitrary code around rather than just doing
invocant access syntax?"
