i'm not entirely sure i follow what youre asking.  i think proper define-syntax
support would be nice (with syntax-rules, im ambivalent on syntax-case), but
i understand why its not there.  unless the generation code is highly optimised,
they tend to be a lose anyway...

I am of two minds about placing '(use syntax-case)' in syntax files that only work w/ hygienic macros. "testbase" does this but only because it is supposed to support "dirty" macros as well, one day. "array-lib-ec" does it because I didn't want an extra requirement.

The error is annoying. What do others think?
