This prints "bar", as expected. Not tested more than you.


That looked like a bug to me! I didnt know there was a 'place' (lexical 
scope) between define-syntax and the transformer function.

The right hand side of a define-syntax is just an expression that must 
produce a transformer (at expansion time).
