@All, thanks for the interesting discussion.  Certainly gives me something to chew on.

Re-reading the responses, I see that, while I did sort-of say it, I didn't emphasize the point of this:

I have a PEG-syntax parser written in esrap.

I am binding at least two such parsers as reader-macros (not the normal kind of macro).

I always thought that reader macros should be called a different name, because they are not macros. Yes, they produce code; but that's the only point they have in common with macros.
