It seems like it would mess with macros, because you'd now need to parse the sexpr to make sure it isn't a ->. And what is the point of homoiconicity if you can

It seems like it would mess with macros, because you'd now need to parse the sexpr to make sure it isn't a ->. And what is the point of homoiconicity if you cannot easily rewrite any given expression? I dunno, it strikes me as odd, but there's also a high chance I'm missing something important about ->'s.
