Are you referring to support on the host or the target? Hoot has supported syntax-case on the host since 0.1 and we use it a lot in the implementation of various (hoot ...) modules, (hoot records) or (hoot ffi) are some examples. We got this for free, more or less, because when Hoot is expanding the input program on the host it's just using Guile's expander. The addition of an expander in Hoot (which is a lightly modified port of Guile's psyntax) means that we can now compile an expander for the target (which is wasm, of course) and use it at runtime. This is the first release where such a thing is possible. It didn't happen in time for this release, but we're building towards a fully featured interpreter where you can define and use syntax-rules and syntax-case macros. Hope that helps clarify things! - Dave
