Since macros in C are enabled by the *pre-processor*
stage, and thus the only data that can be manipulated
are tokens in the parser input stream, I think this is
a malformed question.

Correction:
Furthermore, can I write a function in C that will recognize
and manipulate Lisp data from any conforming
implementation and, by using CFFI, export that function to Lisp for use as a macro function?
