I suspect that the sole purpose of use-syntax was to allow the use of syntax-case macros instead of the non-standard lisp style macros that are the default. I don't think it was ever intended to be generally useful. Long term, Guile should probably have syntax-case macros available without having to resort to use-syntax. -Dale -- Dale P.
