Re: [Chicken-users] [Q] Macro for defining function from string

[Kristian Lein-Mathisen]

I'm doing that fort of thing here: https://github.com/kristianlm/chicken-minissh/blob/master/minissh-parsing.scm#L5-L11

Here's another example, perhaps easier to follow:

(import-for-syntax (only (chicken string) conc))

(define-syntax syntax-conc

  (er-macro-transformer

   (lambda (x r t)

     (string->symbol (apply conc (intersperse (cdr x) '-))))))

(expand '(syntax-conc "a" "b" "c")) ;; ==> a-b-c

I would recommend using syntax-rules whenever possible, 

and only using er-macro-transformer when you have to. So, your syntax-rules could

expand to syntax-conc.
