If someone really wanted to do that optimization in a macro (at first 
glance, seems a little unSchemely to me, and I think a compiler or JIT 
should be able do that optimization, anyway), I'd hope they'd pick a new 
name for the macro.  "member", "assoc", and friends of course have been 
procedures forever.
