It should also be noted that some bugs may be considered features by
some implementations.

For example, the hygienic definition of "cond-expand" in section 7.3
in the R7RS (and the categorization of "cond-expand" as a hygienic
derived form in section 4.2 is pointless because it amounts to
hygienic matching of identifiers against library name part, meaning
that the matching of the cond clause, say, (library (scheme read))
will depend on the binding of the identifiers `library', `scheme', and
`read'. Therefore, I took liberties in Unsyntax to do the matching in
cond-clauses by symbol equality. Strictly speaking, this is an
incompatibility with R7RS as written, but probably conforming to the
intended meaning.
