If your macro is defined in syntax-rules, there should be no need to use
explicit renaming at all.  The above code should just work in Chicken
4 after you remove the "(use syntax-case)".  If not, there is a bug in
the Chicken 4 implementation of syntax-rules, which would not surprise
anybody too much.
