Subject: bug#21378: R6RS guard's else chokes on multiple expressions
Date: Sat, 29 Aug 2015 23:52:04 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <877fodiwzf.fsf@T420.taylan> (raw)

It seems that whatever macro tries to match the guard expression's
else-clause, fails to do so when the clause contains more than one
expression, and so adds a default "else re-raise" clause after the
existing else clause.

I couldn't figure out where this happens.  I grepped the whole
source tree for 're-raise' and only found it twice in a comment.
