No need -- I see the problem now. It works for defun-like things, but not
define-parameter etc.
Your code using dspec:define-dspec-alias is correct, though strictly speaking
there should be a dspec:define-form-parser as well, but it works for these
macros because they all begin with DEF and the defined name is always the
second element of the form.
