You wouldn't have to scan the entire structure for every invocation if you returned ASTs from extensions rather than strings that needed parsing, or if you parsed the strings returned from extensions into their own trees and grafted them into the tree.

Last time, I promise—the first chapter or so of SICP explains evaluation order concerns. It would really help you to read it.

    Chromatic, I want you to know that your responses have been among those I have most valued and enjoyed reading. And I'm not just saying that because I know who you are, I mean it, you and Boldra + a couple of others have taught me huge amounts in a very short time, and I don't believe I ever even caught a hint of condescension in the words coming from your direction. So I just wanted to say that and thanks.
