3.4.4 of the CLHS says:

  "&body is identical in function to &rest, but it can be used to
   inform certain output-formatting and editing functions that the
   remainder of the form is treated as a body, and should be indented
   accordingly."

So, to me it looks like the only reason that &BODY exists is that it
should /not/ be treated like &REST as far as indentation is concerned.

Cheers,
Edi.
