[Scheme-reports] 4.3 Macros Andy Wingo 05 Jan 2013 20:53 UTC

The wishy-washiness regarding whether introduced identifiers get renamed
or not is pretty bad.  It means that a macro expanding to a definition
and references to that definition will work differently at the top level
and internally, depending on the implementation -- surely not a good
thing.  I recognize that the problem is tricky and there's a lot of
practice out there, but the R6RS situation is better.

The penultimate para of the intro should transpose the references and
the period.

The `when' example for let-syntax is not so good, now that `when' is in
scheme.
