[plt-scheme] Macro problem: struct name coincides with macro keyword

Okay. I'll change the srfi code for my program.

Hmm. Consider this situation:

    Module A uses library B and library C.
    Library B uses the keyword index just as the SRFI 42 code.
    Library C on the other hand uses the define-index-as-
    out-of-context-macro.

    Can module A use macros using the index keyword from
    library B?
