The users manual has a stub section for macros; does anybody know how LFE macros work? It says "lisp style" but that allows at least 4 options (syntax pattern-matching versus classic defmacro, and capturing versus non-capturing).

There's some more in-depth documentation in the repo in doc/user_guide.txt, at around line 520-ish.

It has Common Lisp style defmacro (augmented with pattern matching), and Scheme-inspired defsyntax. The documentation warns that both are unhygienic, and `grep -ri gensym` didn't find anything in the repo.

So I guess you just have to be super careful with variable and function names? That's the dark-ages for lisp, but still usable.
