It's out, and I'm not putting it back or anything, but FWIW:

  (mac functionize (expr)
    (if (and (treemem '_ ssexpand.expr)
             (~caris expr 'make-br-fn)
             (~caris expr 'fn))
      `(fn(_) ,expr)
      expr))

  arc> (= x '((1) (2) (3)))
  arc> (zap [map [car _] _] x)
  arc> x
  (1 2 3)
This idea was in the wart version from the start (https://github.com/akkartik/wart/commit/7e5d620b28#diff-1) but I didn't mention it for simplicity, and then totally forgot to carry it over into anarki.

It's still pretty hacky though, and has more in common with C's macros than with lisp's.
