It actually makes me think that there should be a standardized way for including indentation hints. CL's &body in macros is not nearly enough for any kind of complicated DSLs.

That's minor aesthetics anyway. There are always some degrees of freedom in it, but Lisp has historically much less of those than C-like languages.
