	Right, exactly.  I kept looking for how languages like
smalltalk and CLOS did templates, and couldn't find it.  I was
eventually told exactly what kind of low-down dirty hack they are by
an old Modula hacker on Usenet.  I used to have his rant in my home
directory on eskimo.  I wonder if any of that is still there.
