Comment:

 It's rather simple, really: test.scm is compiled, and this means all
 macros are eliminated.  chicken-syntax is available to all programs by
 default, but not after compilation.

 To get it back for use in LOADed code, you must {{{(use chicken-syntax)}}}
 in test.scm; the rest is just noise.  The fact that {{{require-
 extension}}} works in foo.scm is because it isn't syntax; that's provided
 by library.scm (containing mostly standard Scheme bindings, including a
 few Chicken-specific ones -- like {{{require-extension}}})
