   So, the BINDS are a list of entries (VAR [VALUE-FORM]); a singleton list
   can be replaced by just a symbol VAR, and the VALUE-FORM defaults to VAR.
   But before them you can have keyword arguments.  Only one is defined so
   far.  See below for the crazy things that does.

   The result of evaluating a ONCE-ONLY form is a form with the structure

	(let ((#:GS1 VALUE-FORM1)

	  STUFF)

   where STUFF is the value of the BODY forms, as an implicit progn, in an
   environment with the VARs bound to the corresponding gensyms.

   As additional magic, if any of the VALUE-FORMs is actually constant (as
   determined by inspection, and aided by `constantp' if an :environment is
   supplied, then no gensym is constructed for it, and the VAR is bound
   directly to the constant form.  Moreover, if the constant form looks like

   The ITEMVAR is a symbol; as the macro iterates over the ITEMS, ITEMVAR
   will contain the current item.  The BIND argument is a list of LET*-like
   clauses.  The CATEGORIES are a list of clauses of the form (SYMBOL
   PREDICATE).

   The behaviour of the macro is as follows.  ITEMVAR is assigned (not
   bound), in turn, each item in the list ITEMS.  The PREDICATEs in the
   CATEGORIES list are evaluated in turn, in an environment containing
   ITEMVAR and the BINDings, until one of them evaluates to a non-nil value.
   At this point, the item is assigned to the category named by the
   corresponding SYMBOL.  If none of the PREDICATEs returns non-nil then an
   error is signalled; a PREDICATE consisting only of T will (of course)
   match anything; it is detected specially so as to avoid compiler warnings.

   Once all of the ITEMS have been categorized in this fashion, the BODY is
   evaluated as an implicit PROGN.  For each SYMBOL naming a category, a
   variable named after that symbol will be bound in the BODY's environment
   to a list of the items in that category, in the same order in which they
   were found in the list ITEMS.  The final values of the macro are the final
