Yep. Of course, in LISP, you do this all the time. When you're good at 
it, about 30% of your code winds up being code-generating macros. So 
figuring out where gensym goes is like figuring out whether you need 
global or stack-based variables in a block-structured language. You just 
crash and burn if you don't learn it.
