Good point.  However, I don't see there is much benefit in
re-defining SRFI 10 in terms of SRFI 108:
* SRFI 10 syntax is incompatible with syntax-case and R6RS.
* Existing SRFI 10 implementations (I assume) do the expansion
at read-time.  Some applications may depend on this.  Thus you're
losing most of the compatibility advantage.
* I personally think the SRFI 10 syntax is uglier than the SRFI 108
syntax.
