    If anyone has an idea for a replacement to eval-when, speak up.  I
don't have any idea of anything that would be better.  There seem to
be two main reasons people are upset with eval-when:
 1] It is currently ill-defined.
 2] It is hard to understand.
I believe that the first problem is fairly easy to fix; I suspect that
the second problem is inherent in the nature of the beast.
