(a) You seem to be unaware of the Laws of Conservation of Hyphen Momentum: according to the CLHS, a term in hyphen motion tends to remain in motion, a term at hyphen rest tends to remain at rest.

(b) Really, the worst thing you can do in CL is use a macro where a function would do. The Pope does not sudo ex cathedra to say, "It's not the heat, it's the humidity."
