Hi,
I was trying to come up with a naive implementation of check-expect/test and I 
found out that if a macro expands to a set! on a module-level variable 
directly, an error will be given when using the macro from another module. A 
simple fix seems to instead have the macro to expands to a function call that 
performs the set!.
I'm not sure what to think about it and I would like to hear why it works that 
way or what I have missed.
Here's what I came up with in a few minutes :
(provide check-expect test)
(define tests '())
(define-syntax check-expect  (λ (stx)    (syntax-case stx ()      [(_ exp 
res)        #'(add-test (list (delay exp) res #'stx))])))
(define add-test  (λ (test) (set! tests (cons test tests))))   ; add-test is 
there because having check-expect expands to set! doesn't work when called from 
another module.
(define test  (λ ()    (printf "Ran ~a checks.\n" (length tests))    (let* 
([failed (filter (λ (test) (not (equal? (force (car test)) (cadr test)))) 
(reverse tests))]           [nbfailed (length failed)])      (if (> nbfailed 
0)          (begin            (printf "~a tests failed:\n" nbfailed)            
(for-each (λ (ft)                         (let ([ft-stx (caddr ft)])            
            (printf "Actual value ~a differs from ~a, the expected value.\n 
~a\n" (force (car ft)) (cadr ft)                                 (format "In ~a 
at line ~a column ~a" (syntax-source ft-stx) (syntax-line ft-stx) 
(syntax-column ft-stx))))) failed))          (printf "All test passed!\n"))     
 )))
