Of course, I see no need to rush this.  I also wonder if macros are the
right approach.  Do you think it could be possible to convert
`flymake-collection-define-...' into functions?  Or perhaps even a
number of method?  My fear is that the current implementation might be a
bit difficult to understand, if only because of the number of keyword
options that are merged into the final checker.
