Final SRFI 148: Eager syntax-rules Arthur A. Gleckler 09 Aug 2017 05:10 UTC

Scheme Request for Implementation 148,
"Eager syntax-rules,"
by Marc Nieper-Wißkirchen,
has gone into "final" status.

The document and an archive of the discussion are available
at <https://srfi.schemers.org/srfi-148/>.

Here's the abstract:

  Writing powerful syntax-rules macros is hard because they
  do not compose well: The arguments of a macro expansion
  are not expanded.  This SRFI defines an easy to comprehend
  high-level system for writing powerful, composable (or
  eager) macros, two of whose defining features are that its
  macro arguments are (in general) eagerly expanded and that
  it can be portably implemented in any Scheme
  implementation conforming to the R7RS.

Regards,

SRFI Editor
