I must be missing something obvious. But I've developed short-term macro
blindness.
The idea is that the `foo` identifier is packaged into the call to `submac` as
a syntax property.
When I retrieve this property from inside `mac`, it returns the expected
'module-foo value.
But when I retrieve this property from inside `submac`, it creates a new
nonconflicting variable. This confuses me: what I expect is that `submac`
should try to bind the same identifier, producing an error.

#lang racket
(define foo 'module-foo)
(define-syntax (mac stx)
(syntax-case stx ()
[(_ SUBMAC)
(with-syntax ([SUBMAC (syntax-property #'SUBMAC 'foo-id #'foo)])
#`(begin (displayln (format "module foo = ~a" #,(syntax-property
#'SUBMAC 'foo-id)))
SUBMAC))]))
(define-syntax (submac stx)
(syntax-case stx ()
[(_)
(with-syntax ([FOO-ID (syntax-property stx 'foo-id)])
#`(begin
(define FOO-ID 'submac-foo)
(displayln (format "submac foo = ~a" FOO-ID))))]))
(mac (submac)) ; why not an "identifier already defined" error?
