As we all know many useful extensions to Scheme (scoops, environments, records, etc.) are implemented using syntax extension. Without a standard systax extension facility these extensions can't be easily ported from one implementation to another. -- Juha Heinanen Tampere Univ. of Technology Finland jh@tut.fi (Internet), tut!jh (UUCP)
