[plt-scheme] flavoured modules

Hi Ryan,
No, I did not know of the existence of (lib "include.ss").
I checked it, it works fine, is more flexible and seems to satisfy my needs.
I looked into the source of include.ss and it seems clear to me why my first 
attempts did not work:
include.ss recurs on the syntax-e of the syntaxes to be included, whereas I 
tried to avoid this.
Do I understand correctly that (datum->syntax-object cstx stx) does not attach 
the cstx to the components of the syntax of a pair or list or improper list?
That would explain my misunderstanding.
It's clear why include.ss does not recur on  #hash((k . v|) ...): syntax-e does 
not decompose it.
I wonder why include.ss does not have to recur on #hash((k . v|) ...) whereas it 
does recur on #(e ...) and #&c, which seems to imply the necessity of recurring 
on vectors and boxes.
Thanks a lot.
Jos
