I agree that the ability to get a machine-readable parse failure is very important for tooling. However I feel very strongly that the error messages that are printed by default on macro validation failures should be easily understandable, and the current ones are not. If we completely punt to tooling for this, firstly users will receive different (and different quality) error messages depending on the tool they're using, and anyone using plain vanilla Clojure will not get good errors at all.
