I am still making most macros using syntax-rules and syntax-case because when I happened to learn macros these were the paths of least resistance. Every once in a while I try to learn a little more of syntax-parse since the few times I've tried it I really liked it.
It appears that, in general, syntax-rules and syntax-case use what syntax-parse considers "datum-literals", which the docs say are recognized "symbolically" versus actual literals which are recognized "by binding." The example in the documents for some reason clarifies nothing since both expressions are the same and give the same output, making this a distinction without an obvious difference. Can someone explain the intention behind #:literals as opposed to #:datum-literals? In what cases should I consider #:literals? Why would I want to avoid #:datum-literals, or vice versa?
