I am playing with the idea of adding define-syntax* to the Snow specification. I have a prototype of this in my working copy of the generic Snow. A quick experiment indicates that all of the currently supported Scheme systems except Gambit, Guile and SCM support define-syntax. Out of the major Scheme systems not yet supported by Snow, I expect Kawa, Larceny, MIT-Scheme and SISC to also support define-syntax, but not RScheme and Stalin. Finally, I expect most of the lesser Schemes will not support define-syntax at all (e.g. EdScheme, Elk, JScheme, LispMe, SIOD, TinyScheme, to name a few).
So it boils down to a portability issue. If Snow adds support for define-syntax, then packages that use it will not be portable to many Scheme systems. Should we care?
I think we should add define-syntax* to the Snow spec. Any one opposed?
