Abstract

This document describes a handful of syntactic extensions to the core bindings of the Scheme programming language. In particular, it proposes to extend the binding forms lambda, let, let* with pattern matching capabilities, to extend the forms let and or with the ability to handle multiple values, and to extend the form define with the ability of defining "curried" functions.
