Jay, can you elaborate? What is doing the looking -- the match struct
clause? What does it mean to "look at foo's static binding"?
I understand that my macro is binding only the values, not the
original syntaxes (other than "foo" itself, which is carried through
from the user's source). The name "struct:foo" here is completely
synthetic because it's being introduced by build-struct-names. Is
that what you're referring to?
In that case, does writing such a macro require an explicit breaking
of hygiene?
