higher-order macro
     
        A means of expressing certain {higher-order function}s in a
        first order language.  Proposed by Phil Wadler.  Higher-order
        macros cannot be recursive at the top level but they may
        contain recursive definitions.  E.g.
     
        	map f l = m l
        		  where
        		  m []	   = []
        		  m (x:xs) = f x : m xs
     
        Expanding a call to this macro is equivalent to specialising a
        call to map in its first argument.
