[racket] Beginning macro assignments?

How about list comprehension?

I envision giving them the 5 rules in "The Implementation of
Functional Programming Languages" in Racket notation and some examples
in order to get them started.

> I'm teaching a sophomore-level "Principles of Programming Languages" course.  We've been working through various chapters of PLAI, but I want to spent the last week or so of the semester on macros, using the "Racket Guide to Macros" at http://docs.racket-lang.org/guide/macros.html .  We'll also be talking about the C preprocessor as another example of "macros".

> For that matter, if you have good reasonably-easy exercises for the C preprocessor, that would be helpful too.
