@cindex syntax, auxiliary

Although literals can be unbound, usually they are bound to allow them
|
||||
to be imported, exported, and renamed. @xref{Modules}, for more
|
||||
information on imports and exports. In Guile there are a few standard
|
||||
auxiliary syntax definitions, as specified by R6RS and R7RS:
|
||||
|
||||
@deffn {Scheme Syntax} else
|
||||
@deffnx {Scheme Syntax} =>
|
||||
@deffnx {Scheme Syntax} _
|
||||
@deffnx {Scheme Syntax} ...
|
||||
Auxiliary syntax definitions.
|
||||
|
||||
These are defined as if with a macro that never matches, e.g.:
|
||||
|
||||
@example
|
||||
(define-syntax else (syntax-rules ()))
|
||||
@end example
|
||||
@end deffn
|
||||
|
||||
If a pattern is not a list, vector, or an identifier, it matches as a literal,
|
||||
with @code{equal?}.
