I thank you very much for this explanation, and i forward it immediately to 
my interested colleague. This is certainly the way to get a quick "hack"
for solving the problem at hand immediately. It is also very interesting 
as examples of use for the substitution commands, which remain, at least for 
me, quite mysterious. I will try to write some modification of grind which 
directly outputs the appropriate code, because it seems to me this is the 
most simple and logic way to do it, since the expressions are fully parsed
at the lisp level, and only require potentially simple transformations.
