This is a confusing example, because in a REPL steps of compilation and evaluation are interleaved.
Indeed, can you write a program for CLISP that works like this:
- takes one command line argument (a file name)
- reads in the given file, interprets it as Common Lisp code, expecting it to deliver a definition for the add2 macro
- then runs
(let ((a 1)) (dotimes (i 4) (add2 a)))
