I agree. This is in fact exactly how I had it in the first version.
Later I thought it would be more consistent to write instead, as Taylor
Campbell also noted,
(define-syntax foo
(computation-rules () ...)
However, this seems impossible to do using the syntax-rules
implementations I have at hand. However, I
still think this would be the most satisfying way, and I wanted to leave
the current syntax somewhat compatible with maybe having this in future.
