Date: Thu, 27 Mar 2008 11:55:23 -0400 From: David Van Horn <dvanhorn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> So it seems perfectly reasonable to specify that SRFI 42 qualifier names are matched based on symbolic equality and that the SRFI 42 library does not export bindings for qualifier names. If there are really *no* words in the SRFI about the comparison of names (I haven't read through it carefully enough to say), then this would be a reasonable provisional workaround for this instance of the problem. That leaves the problem in SYNTAX-RULES, however, of failing to distinguish the two kinds of name comparison, which matters for portable programs.
