I would think that the rationale for any language with the syntax of Lisp but semantics similar to X is obvious: you want a language like X (that can be used for the things that X is used for) but with the meta-programming capabilities provided by Lisp-style macros. I can definitely see a Lisper thinking this rationale is so obvious that it does not require mentioning.

Yep, macros are the only motivation needed for wrapping a language like C, and this project does a lot more than that. I've tried to come up with a way to do this myself, but I always hit a wall when it comes to integrating with the C preprocessor.
