Then you were not following

I haden't heard of it neither
I am following Mark's distinction, here, between a macro stepper and
macroexpand-1
I don't know if other schemes lack macroexpand-1 too but at this point it
wouldn't be relevant anymore

And how would I know what a monad is without reading academic materials ?
Maybe Haskell is a requirement in order to use Guile//Guix ?
"assuming that the concept of a monad is known" is a problem.
Someone would want to _learn_ what a monad is AND how it can be implemented
in scheme, by dissecting this Guix macro based feature
Do you think that the code should be kept obscure and unaccessible ?
So much for the Emacs of distros
