What kind of macro facility does MIT Scheme support? I expect there to be two answers to this question. A low level mechanism, such as "macro", and a high level mechanism, such as "extend-syntax". Thank you, David Boyer boyer@iuvax.cs.indiana.edu

A low level mechanism, such as "macro", and a high
level mechanism, such as "extend-syntax".
A description of the MIT Scheme macro facilty can be obtained by
anonymous FTP from altdorf.ai.mit.edu in
archive/scheme-7.1/macros.txt.
The short answer is that we have a low-level "macro" mechanism. We
will probably have a high-level mechanism soon after the specification
for that mechanism is completed and more or less accepted.
