I'm trying to port syntax-parse to master. And get into the following trubble (syntax-case x (integrate) ((integrate a b) ...)) fails, but (syntax-case x (integrate) ((_ a b) ...)) does not fail looking at the code for syntax-case I would expect that the datum integrate is match against and not using syntax any syntactic information. In psyntax.scm around 2419 we have, ((bound-id-member? p keys) (values (vector 'free-id p) ids)) keys are the fixed datums, and (define bound-id-member? (lambda (x list) (and (not (null? list)) (or (bound-id=? x (car list)) (bound-id-member? x (cdr list)))))) e.g. no comparisons of the datum. Is this correct! I do understand that this can be a feature but is this expected? In syntax parse both options are possible. /Regards Stefan
