Re: Macro expansion problem

The following test program prints

test-exprs->proc, but is matched anyway.

The problem appears to be when creating the template for the 2nd rule in:

(define-syntax test-out (syntax-rules (test-content-type! define-input) ((test-out (test-content-type! expr ...)) (test-content-type! expr ...)) ((test-out (define-input form)) (mtrace1 (define-input form))) ((test-out expr) (display expr )) )) (test-out ,@exprs))))

Somehow the define-input in the pattern fails to match the define-input in the literals list, so define-input is read as a pattern variable.

I haven't yet had time to figure out whether this would
be an easy or difficult fix - I have to remind myself
how the macro processing works ...  (The complication
is how "hygiene" is handled.)
