Comment:

 Gauche behaves identically to CHICKEN.  Racket, Guile, Gambit and Scheme48
 give an error that the define is in an expression context (after adding an
 expression after it).

 I guess technically, CHICKEN is correct here (in the sense that R5RS
 undefined behaviour allows this).  It is confusing though, so we may want
 to disallow this.  It's a potentially breaking change, so I think '''if'''
 we decide to change this, we should do so in CHICKEN 5.
