OK, I know my name's not Matthew, but between one thing and another I
spent some time looking at the SRFI 72 macro proposal. I've written up
a comparison to syntax-case and put it in Subversion at:
draft/syntax/srfi72-comparison.html
Part of it deals with the basics of SRFI 72, but I suspect you're all
somewhat familiar with that already (I wasn't). Section 3 deals with
the hygiene issue which SRFI 72 addresses, and how that makes it differ
from syntax-case, for anyone who'd like a description of that.
My experience with SRFI 72 is limited, so it's quite likely that there
are things that I've missed or gotten wrong - please let me know if you
spot anything. The description of the hygiene differences was primarily
extrapolated from analysis of a single micro-example -- you have been
warned.
Somewhat experimentally, I've also posted a copy at:
