Re: Portable Syntax Case

There is a licensing issue with the mzscheme implementation:

know if this is reason enough to consider other options.
No, we cannot use the mzscheme code. What I was more thinking was
that the mzscheme documentation may be helpful for the design.
What I would like to do is that the existing code for SyntaxRule.java,
SyntaxRules.java, and syntax_rules.java and "re-factor" it to implement
syntax-case and syntax. There is already a start of an implementation
of syntax-case; implementing syntax shouldn't be too difficult, using
the existing syntax_case.java as a base.
