So if it were even possible to do such a thing in guile, it would have
to be done using symbols that are illegal reader syntax, but that the
evaluator could handle (or similar). Hmm.

Though what's the final word on that front. Aren't there still cases
you can't handle with the hygenic stuff, where you'd still need
define-macro? If so, then if we can, it'd be nice to support both.

That's what I meant (I keep getting the names confused). Does anyone
know of a good overview of syntax-rules? While I'm plowing through
the r5rs definition now, it'd be nice to have an alternate source of
info as well.
