The trouble is that in Chicken all environments share the same macros,
so you are stuck with the definition of quasiquote unless you override it
globally with a version that doesn't invoke ##sys#list or ##sys#cons.

That doesn't help much; it's not the macroexpansion that's at issue,
it's the eval that's done after calling macroexpand.  That eval
uses the current (dynamic) environment.

BTW, Felix, the claim on the wiki that the interaction environment
can't be extended appears to be false:
