Right, but the macro is a parse time thing and the retainstack values to be 
manipulated are a runtime thing. So I thought it would be OK to use a 
locals-macro to do the expansion. E.g. let's say I have 4 values on the 
retainstack. Doing 3 nrpick should expand to

        [ 3 nr>   3 1 - ntuck   3 n>r ]

and the macro expansion shouldn't affect what's on the retainstack at runtime.

Also, as far as locals mixing with retainstack manipulations, I thought it was 
OK to use >r and r> in a locals-body as long as what's in between the >r and 
r> didn't refer to any local-variables. Did that change? I see that the 
documentation says don't mix them at all.
