That might have been a rhetorical question, thinking it was failing this
way (from acl62):
CELLO(1): (defmacro does-not-apply (x)
`(print ,x))
DOES-NOT-APPLY
CLO(2): (apply 'does-not-apply (list 42))
Error: Attempt to call DOES-NOT-APPLY which is defined as a macro.
[condition type: PROGRAM-ERROR]
macros cannot be APPLY'ed or funcalled.
