I managed to implement a version that redefines mac. If people want mac to stay the same we could just switch them so defmacro becomes the new version and mac remains the same. I realized that I actually liked the fact that it autogensyms the symbols that are within an unquote because otherwise you would still need to use uniq in cases where you quote inside of an unquote and you need the symbols to be the same.

  (= defmacro mac)

  (defmacro mac (name args . body)
    (let uniqs (table)
      `(defmacro ,name ,args ,@((afn (exp)
				  (if (auto exp) (or= uniqs.exp (uniq exp))
				      (atom exp) exp
				      t          (map self exp)))  
			        body))))

  (def auto (exp)
    (and (atom exp) (endmatch "@" (string exp))))
