What you're thinking of can be done, but only by calling eval explicitly. I.e. what you could do thus with or if it were a function:

  (apply or args)

you have to do thus with the real or, which is a macro:

  (eval (cons or args))

This is not surprising, because macros live in the world of expressions, not values.
