Do you know of a practical introduction to syntax-rules? Lisp macros 
have a big advantage over Scheme macros in that there seems to be a lot 
more documentation available. I didn't have a preference, but I wound 
up learning classic Lisp macros, because I could find many, good 
examples to work from.

That said, as long as define-macro is available, I have no problem with 
you suggestion.
