Syntax-Case definition
language A
macro system for
Scheme by R. Kent Dybvig
dyb@cs.indiana.edu. It is superior to the low-level system described in the Revised^4 Report (
R4RS). Pattern variables are ordinary identifiers with essentially the same status as lexical variable names and
macro keywords. The
syntax is modified to recognise and handle references to pattern variables. Version 2.1 works with
Chez Scheme and the
Macintosh port runs under
MacGambit 2.0
