Note that "primitives" will not work for macros in general, most especially not 
for macros that introduce bindings or that have syntax that does not 
conform to the simple (rand rator ...) format.  On the other 
hand, it will work for non-binding macros that are of the (rand rator ..) 
format, such as "time".
