macroexpand-1 works only with the low-level macro expander. syntax-case
(and all other hygienic macro expanders) expand a toplevel form completely
(in fact, the have to to take context information into account and perform
internal renaming. Well I think they do), so macroexpand-1 is not available
here and does the same as macroexpand.
