Special Operator SYMBOL-MACROLET:

Is there a better way not requiring the cltl2 environment interface?

Thanks,
Daniel

(defun specialp (symbol)
(eval `(let ((,symbol 0))
(zerop (funcall (let ((,symbol 1))
(lambda () ,symbol)))))))

The following is a variant that moves some code out of the part evaluated at runtime:

(defun specialp (symbol)
(progv (list symbol) '(0)
(zerop (funcall (eval `(let ((,symbol 1))
(lambda () ,symbol)))))))
