Consider the difference in results below. How would I persuade `syntax-parse` 
to match literal identifiers in the `free-identifier=?` sense that 
`syntax-case` does? (and thereby allow unbound identifiers to be compared also)

IIUC, `#:literals` is too strict, as it insists that every listed identifier 
have a binding; `#:datum-literals` is too lenient, as it does not compare 
bindings at all, but rather just the symbol.

#lang racket
(require math rackunit)

(module mod racket
  (require (for-syntax syntax/parse))
  (define-syntax (mac stx)
    (syntax-parse stx
      #:literals () ;; <- can't put `zeta` here, produces an error
      #:datum-literals (zeta)
      [(_ zeta) #''match]
      [else #''nope]))
  (provide mac))
(require 'mod)

(check-equal? (mac zeta) 'match) 


(module mod2 racket
  (require (for-syntax syntax/parse))
  (define-syntax (mac2 stx)
    (syntax-case stx (zeta)
      [(_ zeta) #''match]
      [else #''nope]))
  (provide mac2))
(require 'mod2)

(check-equal? (mac2 zeta) 'nope)
