I didn't know that this was a taken name already,
Let's call it guile-srfi-72, In the end it is a srfi-72 simulator that mix
well with the current guile macro system but is not a perfect replacement
(yet)
I'll check it out, But srfi-72 really covers a need I have when
writing macros with
syntax-parse.
I'll check the sc-macro-transformer out.
