Understood.
in the case were it is neccessary to use normal Scheme operators, most
often a call to syntax->list, which turns a syntax-object representing a
list into a list of syntax-objects, is enough to solve the problem.
This can entail a rather expensive performance hit.
What is "rather expensive"?
I was referring to having to walk the expression with syntax->list to the
required depth before being able to use, e.g., SRFI-1 operations on it. It may
not always be expensive, but it could be.
