One problem I have with the ref’ manual is the section on (ice-9 match).  The grammar has terms like “string” where I don’t know if this means the literal term “string” or a string literal.  It would be nicer to have a grammar where the literal term “string” is in code-case and a string literal is described by “string” in italics.  I have worked on rewriting the match match grammar as @example and as @table.

Does either of these look better to you?  See the PDF attached.  I am willing to complete the whole mess in another format, but I need to know which one is preferred, if any, and someone has to verify that the new grammar specification is accurate.

Matt
