Define the word syntax-case

"syntaxcase" foldoc "The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (27 SEP 03)"

Syntax-Case
     
         A macro system for Scheme by R. Kent Dybvig
        .  It is superior to the low-level system
        described in the Revised^4 Report (R4RS).  Pattern variables
        are ordinary identifiers with essentially the same status as
        lexical variable names and macro keywords.  The syntax
        is modified to recognise and handle references to pattern
        variables.  Version 2.1 works with Chez Scheme and the
        Macintosh port runs under MacGambit 2.0
     
        (ftp://iuvax.cs.indiana.edu/pub/scheme/syntax-case.tar.Z).
