     wrong and getting the whole feature are two different mistakes, and a
     "defmacro is (defmacro ...)" that only ever fired after expansion landed
     would be a rule nothing enforced in the meantime.

     The refusal is not about parsing. Expanding a macro means running it, and
     there is no interpreter — the compiled path is the only backend. So it
     means compiling the macro and dlopening it into the compiler, which is
     what Emit.redefinition and Build.shared already do for the dev loop.
     NEXT.md writes down how that goes together. *)

   Shape alone cannot tell: [(Option f64)] and [(Some 1)] are identical
   s-expressions, one a type application and one a constructor call. Capitalised
   heads are not a good enough signal — [(defn f [] (Some 1) (bar))] would eat
   the body's first form as a return type, silently.

   So the decision uses the set of names that are actually types, which the
   pre-pass in [program] collects from the file's own declarations. That makes
   it exact rather than heuristic, because types are only ever introduced by
   defstruct, defunion and defalias — all syntactically obvious. *)
