I don't know scheme macros, so could you please explain why they are more powerful? What can you do with a syntax-case macro what you cannot do with a Common Lisp (or Clojure) macro? Wikipedia lists syntax-case as hygienic macro system, which would make it less powerful than CL macros, because if that was true, you could not write anaphoric macros with it.
