Note that an implementation is allowed to implement any procedure as a
combo of a macro and a procedure using the identifier syntax trick. If
I am not mistaken, this is the trick by which Chez Scheme, for
example, makes procedures exported by libraries inlineable.

Thus, whatever reflection works with ordinary Scheme procedures will
also work with procedures taking keyword arguments that are
implemented using a macro/procedure combo.

The nice thing about it would be that we wouldn't need "call/kw" most
of the time.
