One tip for writing macros: make your transformer pattern variables be
all-uppercase. This convention makes reading and writing macros much
easier for humans, and also less confusing to learn (because people
seeing examples are less confused over what is a pattern variable and
what is a normal Racket variable).
That sounds like very useful advice, but does anyone follow it? I
haven't seen this convention used in any Racket macros I looked at.
I been using it for maybe 3 years, and consider it a very useful convention.

One thing I've learned from consulting: people are more likely to take
your advice when they're paying you for it. :)
