[plt-scheme] idiomatic way to split a list into first, middle, last?

If I'm not mistaken, the PLT syntax-rules and syntax-case languages can 
both handle this kind of thing:

     (define-syntax foo
       (syntax-rules ()
         [(_ a b ... c)
          '(a c b ...)]))

     > (foo z x1 x2 x3 y)
     (z y x1 x2 x3)

But I believe the match library does not, as you found out. It's not 
hard to generalize a matching algorithm to handle a fixed number of 
suffixes. Maybe the best thing would be for you to improve the match 
library! :)
