You know, the more I think about scheme macros, the more I think that
failure to allow _deliberate_ variable capture is a bad thing.  We
know, up close and personal, how annoying and subtle the bugs are in
dialects like interlisp, etc, where _inadvertent_ variable capture
happened.  But we have reacted by walking away and locking the door
instead of figuring out how to use variable capture purposefully and
in well-defined ways.  We have made of hygiene a restriction rather
than a tool.  And it was supposed to be a tool.

This is out of scope for the current SRFI, but for me the most
fundamental extension to define-syntax or syntax-case that's really
needed is some standardized way of explicitly allowing variables
inside a macro to be captured and breaking hygiene.  This would add
more expressive power than metamacros.
