Re: SRFI 147 sample implementation and Kawa

I have not looked at the SRFI implementation carefully so I do not know
whether the problem is with the implementation or Kawa,

Could be neither or both.  The implementation of Scheme hygienic macros is
fairly complicated, and if you push the limits, things may break.

 but I thought
I'd mention it here.  (A similar test with chibi-scheme works, though.)

I think is a case where you have to dig into the Kawa implementation of
macros, and add the desired SRFI-147 functionality.  Having it be an add-on
will be fragile, at best, I suspect.
