Not in general. The main point of hygienic macros, and syntax-case and
syntax-rules systems in particular, are that hygiene is taken care of
automatically. You should never need to explicitly play with identifiers,
because lexical scoping rules should handle things perfectly well.
Anything more than that brings you straight back into the realm of
defmacro.
