So "low-level" vs. "high-level" boils down to the disjointness of pairs, symbols, etc. versus syntax objects? If so, I believe R6RS does not specify its "level", and if I recall correctly, Andre van Tonder had a "low-level" R6RS expander in which syntax objects were not distinct. (I keep using scare quotes because I think this terminology is awful and should be abandoned).
