I think I was being mislead by what might be behavior from DrRacket's
5.1.1's printing of syntax objects. When I introduce displaylns to
let me explore the structure of the syntaxes, as in:
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
#lang racket
(define x (datum->syntax #f 'hello (list 'my-source 3 3 18 5)))
(define y (datum->syntax #f 'world (list 'my-source 3 9 24 5)))
(define a-bigger-syntax #`(module foo racket/base (#%module-begin #,x #,y)))
(define a-reconstructed-syntax
(syntax-case a-bigger-syntax ()
[(module name language (a-modbeg body ...))
#'(module name language (a-modbeg body ...))]))
(displayln a-bigger-syntax)
(displayln a-reconstructed-syntax)
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
then under DrRacket's syntax printer, if I click on the 'hello
identifier of the snip representation for a-bigger-syntax, I can
observe that it's at position 18, line 3, column 3, and span 5.
That's what I expect, because I built the syntax object that way.
But if I click on the 'hello identifier of the a-reconstructed-syntax
graphical snip, the snip reports itself as being at position 358, line
8, column 28, with a span of 19, which is not correct. So something
strange is happening here.
