| And indeed, you can do something like:
| (defmacro with-standard-page ((title &key (stylesheet "standard.css"))
|                               &body body)

And indeed, when I'm actually doing a web site with it [as opposed
to a quicky c.l.lisp "why use macros" example], I do things like that,
of course. I have macros & functions with names like these:

    results-template-page
    sql-error-page
    emit-top-toolbar
    emit-addnew-button
    decode-image-button-name
    build-continuation		; for multi-step form dialogs
    emit-editbox-list
    make-mailto-link

and so on...
