Generate a defmacro form that transforms code like this:
(is (not (plusp 1)))

Pattern to recognize: Macro call that should be transformed by is

Macro definition:
(defmacro is (test &rest reason-args)
  "The DWIM checking operator.

If TEST returns a true value a test-passed result is generated,
otherwise a test-failure result is generated. The reason, unless
REASON-ARGS is provided, is generated based on the form of TEST:

 (predicate expected actual) - Means that we want to check
 whether, according to PREDICATE, the ACTUAL value is
 in fact what we EXPECTED.

 (predicate value) - Means that we want to ensure that VALUE
 satisfies PREDICATE.

 Wrapping the TEST form in a NOT simply produces a negated reason
 string."
