In the end I think this is too disruptive for stable-2.0, for DSL-style macros with large literal lists that have relied on symbolic matching. I will apply it to master though. Perhaps in the future we will bind `else' and `=>' as well. Also we can add some kind of #:symbolic-literals option to syntax-case, if that's useful. Regards, Andy -- http://wingolog.org/
