I didn't know that this was a taken name already, Let's call it guile-srfi-72, In the end it is a srfi-72 simulator that mix well with the current guile macro system but is not a perfect replacement (yet)

I'll check the sc-macro-transformer out. /Stefan On Thu, Feb 14, 2013 at 10:42 AM, Mikael Djurfeldt <mik...@djurfeldt.com> wrote: > 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. > > On Thu, Jan 24, 2013 at 9:45 AM, Alex Shinn <alexsh...@gmail.com> wrote: >> On Thu, Jan 24, 2013 at 4:11 PM, Stefan Israelsson Tampe >> <stefan.ita...@gmail.com> wrote: >>> >>> >>> 2.
