Someone (not me) will have to persuade Alex to revert his decision and
move the define-syntax form that actually supports syntax-case back to
the core.

By the way, the problem with Chibi's syntax-case implementation is not
that it is not performant (it is linear because it maps directly to
Chibi's ER/SC core) but that it is only an approximation to the full
syntax-case system. For the basic uses, one doesn't see the
difference, fortunately.
