It would be nice to use consistent terminology for macros.
For example, in
$a:b, Macros Guide callsba "fragment specifier", Reference Manual calls it a "designator". Both are inscrutable, and looking at search engine hits "fragment specifier" seems to be a Rust coinage.Dylan calls it "constraint", which seems reasonable to me. See a section on Dylan Macro System documentation.
