I hope WG1 will reconsider lifting the restriction that "any internal syntax definitions in a body must come before any internal definitions."
Sometimes I write macros that expand into both definitions and syntax definitions. If this restriction stands I won't be able to reliably use those macros in <bodies> (and nor would anyone else). Also, there's already a context where interleaving definitions and syntax definitions is allowed - a module's set of commands and definitions. Since a module's comdef set might also be viewed as behaving like a 'letrec*' expression, similar to a <body> (the spec is vague on this), the only difference between comdef sets and <bodies> is where expressions may appear. Or at least it could be that way if this restriction were lifted.
