;;; A note on the difference between `(transform-* (cdr x))' and `(map
;;; transform-* (cdr x))'.
;;;
;;; In most cases, none, as most of the transform-* functions are
;;; recursive.
;;;
;;; However, if (cdr x) is not a proper list, the `map' version will
;;; signal an error immediately, whereas the non-`map' version will
;;; produce a similarly improper list as its transformed output.  In
;;; some cases, improper lists are allowed, so at least these cases
;;; require non-`map'.
;;;
;;; Therefore we use the non-`map' approach in most cases below, but
;;; `map' in transform-application, since in the application case we
;;; know that `(func arg . args)' is an error.  It would probably be
;;; better for the transform-application case to check for an improper
;;; list explicitly and signal a more explicit error.
