That is incredible, but I must ask: Beside really getting to know Rust's trait and type system, and besides experimental / educational tinkering, could this have any practical use case?

If this could somehow be used to implement proc macros in lisp instead of rust, I'd be very interested in exploring real use cases. But from my limited understanding of how it works, it seems not.

I was surprised but pleased to see this was a declarative macro rather than a proc macro. While proc macros are more powerful, there's a surprising amount of expressive power in the declarative ones, and I'm fond of playing around with them to figure out how to stretch them beyond where it seems like they should be able to get (and maybe shouldn't be used for in real code, but that doesn't make it less fun for playin…

(Self plug) There’s also a lisp in the decl macro system directly: https://github.com/RyanWelly/lisp-in-rs-macros
