Andrew K. Wright's pattern matcher contains a macro `define-structure',
which expands into another macro `defstruct'.  Without these macros,
we can't use the match syntax `($ <struct> <pat>...)'.

The source I included is not the original source but a macro-expanded
version (like psyntax.pp).  Since psyntax.pp is formatted without
whitespace, I did the same.

The original source cannot be executed by Guile because it uses
`[...]' syntax for clause forms.  What should we do?
