Here's a very patch which _doesn't_ require macros to know they're
being evaluated at toplevel or not.

It's based on a suggestion by Evan to extend the core language in such
a way that regular set! can be distinguished from a toplevel definition.

The patch itself is about 90% identical to the previous one, because the
compiler's WALK procedure still needs to know if it's at toplevel or not.

I'm a lot happier with this change because the macros don't need to be
changed, and it also means any macro that expands into a call to "define"
will "just work".

Cheers,
Peter
