macros and procedure dictionary

maybe the trick is to just get rid of the distinction between
procedure words and macros: a single namespace, with procedure words
being equial to

: bla 123 compile ;

this combined with a preprocessing step that identifies all labels in
the source text. a single namespace is easier to understand. separate
compilation units gives shadowing, while inside a single compilation
unit circular references are possible.

what i want this to move toward is a more and more static declarative
structure. maybe i should re-implement namespaces and build them on
top of the mzscheme module system. i doubt the solution i can live
with eventually will be significantly different than mzscheme's..
maybe a bit more liberal? or is that just because of current
implementation?

maybe i should make the compiled macros into a real cache, and store a
master version as a s-exp tree..
