[racket] Plea for neologism

No. The problem is it's never been clear what that category of macros is that John's talking about, but it does not violate hygiene. By definition, in a hygienic macro system, there is no macro that can make the macro system unhygienic.

Now good luck trying to define what that category is! I worked on that problem for nigh onto 8 years, and all I have to show for it is a dissertation.
