-Following the case pattern, and to allow for cleaner code, I've defined the classification case macro.  It does this by taking a variable name and a list of cases.  These are then mapped over, producing clauses suitable for a ~cond~ expression, to which this macro finally expands, binding the complete classification of the given expression to ~the-classification~.
+Because case is such a useful tool, and because it provides a way to ensure that an expression doesn't fall through when acting on it, I've written the ~classification-case~ macro.  It takes an expression, named ~var~ and a list of cases, in the form of ~(classification body-form-1 body-form-2 body-form-n)~.  It transforms the cases, converting them to the form ~((classified-as-p expression 'type) body-form-1 body-form-2 body-form-n)~.  It finally expands to a ~cond~ in which ~the-classification~ is bound to the full and complete classification of the passed expression.
