In magnitude, but not in direction. From CPP to defmacro is from high-level dirty macros to low-level dirty macros. From there to syntactic closures or explicit renaming is from low-level dirty macros to low-level hygienic macros. From there to syntax-rules is from low-level hygienic macros to high-level hygienic macros. Syntax-rules FTW. -- Newbies always ask: John Cowan "Elements or attributes? http://www.ccil.org/~cowan Which will serve me best?"
