&body

• &body is like &rest, but typically reserved for macros

• Example: WITH (shorthand for LET, use it to create one local variable)

(defmacro with ((var &optional val) &body body)

`(let ((,var ,val))

,@body))

(with (a)

(print a)) ;; this example transforms into:

(let ((a nil))

(print a))
