1. Please explain what are those bugs "defsubst*" is suffering from ? I'm
intrigued.
2. What the hell does making "lexical-let" obsolete mean ? I guess,
introducing true lexical scope, like in Common Lisp and Scheme ? IMHO,
"lexical-let" (barring any potential bugs) makes its job quite well for now.

I have actually added `macroexpand-1' as a C subroutine, and
`cl-macroexpand-1' function.  It seems to work well for 2 weeks now :)
