[plt-scheme] variable or syntactic binding

Thanks very much, that's precisely what I was looking for. Before asking my question I browsed the docs for over an hour. I am a bad 
browser, I suppose. Thanks again, Jos

`syntax-local-value' is useful here:

#lang scheme

(define-syntax m 5)
(define n 6)

(begin-for-syntax
  (printf "slv: m ~a~n" (syntax-local-value #'m (lambda _ #f)))
  (printf "slv: n ~a~n" (syntax-local-value #'n (lambda _ #f))))
