Re: Invalid test case. Takashi Kato 21 Mar 2017 07:52 UTC

Then I need a bit more clarification. If the above case is allowed by this
SRFI, then I think it implies one of the following 2 thing:

- define-syntax, let-syntax or letrec-syntax may take sequence of <definition>
  followed by <transformer spec>
  e.g.
  (define-syntax foo (begin (define bar 0) (syntax-rules () ((_) bar))))

or

- <macro use> inside of the <transformer spec> must specially be handled to
  detect any <definition>

Either way, it's nice to be clarified by post finalization note.

Cheers,
