An update:

  http://www.cs.utah.edu/~mflatt/scope-sets-3/

The write-up is mostly new from section 5 through section 11:

 5 First-Class Definition Contexts
 6 Rename Transformers
 7 Modules and Phases
 8 The Top Level
 9 The Syntax-Function Zoo
 10 Compatibility with the Current Racket Expander
 11 Debugging Support

Section 7 was in the earlier drafts as section 5, but it was wrong.
Section 10 was formerly 8, but it's revised and expanded.


On the implementation side, `make` now completes without error
(including documentation). It uses about the same space and time as the
current expander, but just slightly more of each; I'm optimistic about
further improvement. The core Racket tests pass, but it's not hard to
find other tests that fail.

Here are the packages that I've forked to address incompatibilities
(mostly small changes) where the starred ones are new or updated since
my last report:

  compatibility
  drracket
  r5rs
  redex
  compiler *
  macro-debugger *
  racklog
  scribble *
  typed-racket *
  htdp *

While working on performance, I ended up converting the implementation
of immutable hash tables from AVL trees to HAMTs. The change was a
substantial improvement for representing scope sets, but most anything
that uses immutable hash tables can benefit.

After I get more tests passing and update documentation, I'll encourage
you to try it out --- maybe two weeks from now.
