Title: Problem with : operator and macros

Lutz,

The : operator is evaluating symbols in the arguments list:

Code Select Expand
(new Class 'Test)
(define-macro (Test:foo self)
  (println (args)))
(set 'test (Test))
(:foo test these should not evaluate) ; => (nil nil not <9D20> nil)

Yes, this doesn't allow macros. This will change in the next version. So at the moment there is no polymorph application for macros. You would have to call Test:foo explicitly.
