If a module doesn't export any macros, the problem would go away. Just macroexpand all function definitions, then all quoted symbols can be detected.

Hygienic macros can also be dealt properly, mzscheme is an example. But I have no idea how Arc macros can work well with modules.

Maybe the CL package system is the only way.

Hmm, probably means we need a separate macro namespace. Heck, stuff like (let obj (table) (obj 1)) doesn't do as you expect, because of the mixing of macros in the same namespace as functions and values.
