Think of a procedure `loggable' on may want to implement with keyword
arguments. `loggable' shall take a procedure `f' and return a new
procedure `g', which shall have the same interface as `f' except that
`g' takes an extra keyword argument, say `logger:'. When `g' is called
without the `logger:' argument, it shall foward the call to `f''.
However, when the `logger.' argument is provided, `g' shall log to
this logger that it is calling `f' before it is doing the actual call.

As `f' may already be a procedure taking keyword arguments, it is here
where hygiene is helpful because the symbol (!) `logger:' may clash
with an already existing argument to `f'.

Scheme is not CL and has hygienic macros. Its keyword-system shouldn't
be less elegant and beautiful than its `syntax-rules' system.
