Hello, just a quick note to let you know about my alternative to etouq...

Great minds think alike
macro-level may be the first and have better documentation, but etouq is a better name, hands down.

map-bind was very confusing
trivial-jumptables is exactly what i needed for a bytecode interpreter

I like how your website is set up. Very straightforward and organized, with just enough style to make it memorable.

Is this a joke?? I don't even have any idea what "etouq" means, it doesn't even look like a word. And I don't think anyone could guess what it means on their own. (What does it mean?) Meanwhile, "macro-level" seems to me like a pretty representative name for what it does.

map-bind was very confusing

Well, the documentation could be a bit better. It's just a simple way of visually associating variables with values in calls to mapcar and such. Notice how value and values are close by with map-bind and far apart without it:

(map-bind (mapcar) ((value values))
  (this is
        (my super
            complex)
        code))
==
(mapcar (lambda (value)
          (this is
                (my super
                    complex)
                code))
        values)

trivial-jumptables is exactly what i needed for a bytecode interpreter

Great! I was surprised by how many people didn't realize why this would be useful...

Thank you!
