New description:

 These special forms should be replaced with macros that expand to
 qualified forms:

 {{{
 if
 quote
 syntax
 let[rec]-syntax
 foreign-[safe-]lambda[*]
 foreign-primitive
 define-foreign-variable
 define-foreign-type
 define-external-variable
 define-constant
 location
 }}}

 These should be then removed from canonicalization (with qualified
 versions remaining):

 {{{
 begin
 let
 letrec
 lambda
 set!
 }}}

 This should also take care of #18.
