To be pedantic, for full hygiene it should probably get only the
`lambda*` binding used by the macro from the default environment, and
preserve all lexical bindings in `body` even if the user overrode some
standard names. Including preserving the user's binding of `lambda*`
inside `body`. But I'm not sure whether this has any practical relevance
anymore.
