description

Per Bothner writes:

  I would have preferred to use the R6RS library keywords, and just standardize a subset on the R6RS functionality, even at the risk of some edge-case incompatibility.

Without syntax-case macros, we'd have no `include` or `include-ci`, and without the latter, we'd have no clean compatibility with existing R5RS case-insensitive code.  Switching from keywords plus code to just keywords (one of which allows embedding code) made such extensibility straightforward.
