Why are you using macros to do this?  I think you'd
get the same results and a easier to understand code
if you used normal functions.  Unless you need
backtracking, parsing string ports (rather than
string) will remove the need for a cursor.

HTH,
Noel

PS: You might be interesting in parser combinator
libraries.  Google will be happy to point out a few.

PPS: You migh also be interested in the parser and
lexer supplied with PLT Scheme.
