Hi Marco,

This seems like a superfluous feature to me.

To give an example of the first example on the page you linked,
I would use this in a begin-for-syntax, like so:

(begin-for-syntax
  (define obj1 (+ 1 2 3)))

(define-syntax get-obj1
  (er-macro-transformer
    (lambda (e r c)
      obj1)))

(get-obj1) => 6

Maybe I'm missing something, but this seems much simpler to me.

Cheers,
Peter
