[plt-scheme] more macro

Hi there,

I have noticed the following with macros. I could use macros
to remove the quote sign, for example:

(define-syntax m1
  (lambda (x)
    (syntax-case x ()
      ((_ 'f e1 e2 ...)
       (syntax (f e1 e2 ...))))))

Usage:
(syntax-object->datum (expand-once #'(m1 't a b c d)))
Result:
(t a b c d)

I do not know whether it is a feature or a bug. However if I
use this
"feature", then I have a problem when I try to use the quote
sign 
inside the macro expansion, for example:

(define-syntax m2
  (lambda (x)
    (syntax-case x ()
      ((_ 'f e1 e2 ...)
       (letrec
         ((vars (map (lambda (x) (list x 'x)) 
                     (syntax-object->datum (syntax (e1 e2
...))))))
         (with-syntax
           (((lvars ...) vars))
           (syntax (lvars ...))))))))

Usage:
(syntax-object->datum (expand-once #'(m2 't a b c d)))
Expected result:
((a 'a) (b 'b) (c 'c) (d 'd))

On the other hand macro m2 would report an error saying:
quote: illegal use of syntax in: (quote x)

Is this a bug or a feature? I do not really understand what is 
happening with the quote sign inside these macros.

------

Another strange thing with macros, when I type this in DrScheme:

(syntax-object->datum (expand #'(require (lib "list.ss"))))

It expands to:

(require (lib "list.ss"))

Should not it expand to something with #%app and #%top and 
#%datum, to the most basic form? What is preventing it?

Thanks for your help.
