Not using it at this time, but, dumb thought, however why couldn't it 
instead be set up to work like fluid-let?

ie, that it would only be able to override bindings in the same module 
it was called from.

Let the macros zeeky-boogy-doog and blah be defined in module x such 
that (zeeky-boogy-doog ...) would become something of the form (blah ...).

if, inside of module x, there was somewhere a (fluid-let-syntax ((blah 
...)) (zeeky-boogy-doog ...)) then blah would be overridden.

but if instead elsewhere, there was a (require x) (fluid-let-syntax 
((blah)) ...) then the blah from module x would not be overridden, and 
zeeky-boogy-doog would operate as normal. (or at least, as normal as a 
transformer with that name could be. :) )

(or is your point simply that doing that would be more effort than it's 
worth if almost no one uses fluid-let-syntax?)
