Just saw this. Right, "syntactic closures" is the name of a macro system by Alan Bawden and Jonathan Rees:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syntactic_closures http://www.gnu.org/software/mit-scheme/documentation/mit-scheme-ref/Syntactic-Closures.html#Syntactic-Closures So, it would be good to choose a different name if what you are doing is different. BTW, the sc-macro-transformer facility of MIT-scheme would be nice to have. :-) Best regards, Mikael D.
