   6     - change perf test to run for 10 seconds and then calculate number
   7       of iterations per second
   8     - redefine (defmacro!) as (def! (macro*))
   9     - runtest expect fixes:
  10         - stop using expect, so we can drop --raw option
  11         - fix long lines in runtext/expect
  12     - regular expression matching in runtest
  13     - add re (use in rep) everywhere and use that (to avoid printing)
