On my i686-pc-linux-gnu running:
$ guile --version
guile (GNU Guile) 2.1.0.1329-d7cb7
built from the head of the "master" branch, this program:
#!r6rs
(import (rnrs))
(define (alpha)
(define-syntax define-special
(syntax-rules ()
((_ ?who ?val)
(define ?who ?val))))
(define-special beta #t)
#f)
(alpha)
should succeed, but instead it fails with:
;;; compiling /home/marco/var/tmp/proof.sps
