I think Petrofsky's suggestion for handling ellipses (SRFI-46) is far cleaner that the one in the SRFI-93 draft. For syntax-rules macros, I would recommend adopting the SRFI-46 method, or something very similar to it. As well as being easier to understand, I believe that the current proposal would be expressible in Petrofsky's syntax, but that the converse does not hold. For syntax-case macros, I think we should take the opportunity to go all the way with Petrofsky's idea, and make the ellipsis identifier a required argument to SYNTAX-CASE.
The only place (... ...) is needed is in macro-defining macros, which
aren't too common. A search through the PLT code base for (... ...)
versus a search for ... gives a good impression of how uncommon it is.
In my opinion it would therefore be annoying to the specify the ellipsis
in the "boiler plate" every time I need to define a standard macro.
Furthermore with-syntax lets you choose your own ellipsis, when
you need to define a macro-defining macro:
(with-syntax ((::: #'(... ...))
<use ::: here>)
