In two (minor) ways.  The syntax-case version will have to resolve the
first two arguments into symbols before pasting them, then turn them back
into an identifier that is scoped in the original environment before inserting
it into the final form.  It isn't obvious to me whether you want the define to
be hygienic or not.
