So far I've got (from watching the mailing list) the feeling that define-macro and define-syntax don't play well together.

If it was better to have both versions available, the define-macro version for compatibility and define-syntax for the upcoming hygienic chicken, then: how should this be handled? Two eggs?


I've found this in the amb egg, it solves the problem nicely:

(cond-expand
 (hygienic-macros
   ;;put here a bunch of define-syntax + syntax-rules macros
   )
 (else
   ;;put here the same macros written in un-hygienic define-macro
   ))

define-macro will no longer exist in chicken4 (aka hygienic chicken).
