I agree about changing `when', `unless', and `cond'. I can't see changing `begin', especially now that internal-definition contexts allow a mixture of definitions and expressions. Unlike changing `when' and `unless', changing `begin' could change some existing programs, such as
(let () (begin (define x 1) x) x) where that `begin' is a splicing `begin', since it's in an internal-definition context. In some future language, we should get rid of the overloading of `begin' for splicing and sequencing, but it would be painful to change right now.

Recall that no one solved the technical problem with where to pull the lexical context for the implicit `#%begin' or `#%body': http://lists.racket-lang.org/dev/archive/2010-July/003624.html _________________________________________________ For list-related administrative tasks: http://lists.racket-lang.org/listinfo/dev
