Description
It would be useful if definition macros could communicate the defined names in some way. For example, consider a definition macro pub that chains to another definition(s) and makes all defined names exported by default. Currently, I see no way to parse definitions within a definition context, so I hope this can be incorporated once the protocol is thought out.
