Panicz,

you will then want to revise your pattern language (just before
"Incompatible features should not be used") to exclude nested
quasiquotes.

PS How do you match the symbol ... with the restrictions of SRFI 200?

Without restrictions, the "WCS" matcher can match it as in

(match x (('... <output>)))

And the "FHD" matcher as in

(match x ((,id (guard (eq? '... id)) <output>)
