Could someone second this? I thought I saw multi-statement templates in some
examples though I can't remember where. R5RS would seem to agree with Sam
but I'd like to be sure. Also, my main question was whether this macro would
actually expand in the way I expect. The mzscheme repl seems to confirm all
the above but if someone knows anything about other rules in other Schemes
I'd like to know.

Thanks Sam,
James
