Re: Is recieve macro from base implementation of SRFI-1 in fact SRFI-8? Lassi Kortela 24 Aug 2021 17:43 UTC

SRFI 219 overrides `define` because 8 Scheme implementations have already implemented the feature, some of them for decades, and they all did it by overriding `define`. I don't think having lots of different overrides for `define` is a good thing in general; in this case, the prior art forced my hand. SRFI 89, Guile, s7 and others have lambda-star, i.e. `lambda*` for the fancy stuff.
