Just saw this.
Right, "syntactic closures" is the name of a macro system by Alan
Bawden and Jonathan Rees:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syntactic_closures
http://www.gnu.org/software/mit-scheme/documentation/mit-scheme-ref/Syntactic-Closures.html#Syntactic-Closures
So, it would be good to choose a different name if what you are doing
is different.
BTW, the sc-macro-transformer facility of MIT-scheme would be nice to have. :-)
Best regards,
Mikael D.
