Okay, let me explain what I want to do (the name is not really set in stone
yet).

There is a class a% defined somewhere, and an instance parameter
current-a%-object of class a%.
Suppose a% has methods foo and bar.

Then I call:
(class->singleton a% current-a%-object)

This is supposed to define the forms (foo ....) and (bar ....) so that they
act like
(send (current-a%-object) foo ....), etc.

I want to build these definitions automatically from the methods of the
class.

Anyway, beside the intended goal, I'd still like to know how solve the macro
issue.
