Yes. See this part of the documentation of `syntax`: If a pattern variable is replicated by more <ellipsis>es in a template than the depth marker of its binding, then the pattern variable’s result is determined normally for inner <ellipsis>es (up to the binding’s depth marker), and then the result is replicated as necessary to satisfy outer <ellipsis>es. > And is there a good reason for it? If I remember correctly, I implemented a different behavior first, but switched to be consistent with the `syntax-case` implementation. I also vaguely remember that the switch made things work better. That was a long time ago, though, so I may not remember correctly. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Racket Users" group.
