Interesting, I guess it's a good sign to see this kind of article on a more mainstream site like developerworks. The open-brace, close-brace style of parenthesis placement is not very nice, though, and not idiomatic; and "then" and "else" in his examples aren't exactly reserved words. Still, kudos for trying to explain syntax-case macros. Syntax-rules macros have a beauty worthy of Scheme. Syntax-case macros have a power worthy of Scheme. That the author's examples were not beautiful was not helped by syntax-case itself ;-) Andy, who hacks a lot on syntax-case macros and an implementation thereof...
