Nice! I've been wanting compiler macros for a while :)
Among other things, they can be used to implement
another feature I've wanted, first-class inlined procedures:
(define-compiler-macro (define-inline* params . body)
(let ((body `(begin ,@body)))
`(begin
(define ,params ,body)
(define-compiler-macro ,params
`,,body))))
(define-inline* (foo x) ...)
This way FOO is inlined when applied directly, but is still
available as a normal procedure for first class usages
(e.g. with APPLY) and at runtime.
