This is why I said "halfway". Ruby isn't a replacement for Common Lisp (or Scheme) in the macro department; it just gets close enough that you can see Common Lisp (or Scheme) from there. Consider that, when speaking literally of getting halfway to something, you have exactly as far to go still as the distance you've already traveled. It's not like I said Ruby was most of the way there, y'know.
