[comp.lang.scheme] Help in understanding macro proposal

bobg+@andrew.cmu.edu (Robert Steven Glickstein) (02/09/91)

I've read the proposed R^4RS appendix on Scheme macros (syntactic
extensions).  A lot of the proposal seems to presuppose a knowledge of
the realm of syntactic transformers, expanders, and so on.

Can anyone recommend a reference or set of references which will help
me to better comprehend the macro proposal?  References whose text can
be found online somewhere would be ideal, of course, but if necessary
I can actually get up from in front of the workstation and walk over
to the library.
