OK, I understand that the template language in (define-syntax ...) doesn't give you access to the full panoply of Racket-ness. But I really want to manipulate the template variables before passing them on to the next step in the expansion. I've tried (define-for-syntax ..) and a couple of other things, but I keep getting errors about identifiers being unbound and other things which indicate in a very concrete way that I don't have a good grasp on how this all works.
I've tried reading the explanation in the Reference several times, but I think you have to understand what it's saying before it makes sense. Can anyone point me to a lecture, a paper, a chapter, or a chart that explains exactly how Racket (and/or Scheme) gets evaluated? What's defined when, how the namespaces are set up, examples of clever macros that manipulate templates before they're output, etc? If such a thing doesn't exist, could someone write something up? In your copious free time? If I say pretty please? (This paragraph is much more funny if you read it with up-talk on each sentence.) :-) Todd _________________________________________________ For list-related administrative tasks: http://lists.racket-lang.org/listinfo/users
