[plt-scheme] Unhygienic macro not needed?

Thanks Carl and Sam,

[snip]

`defmacro' in PLT Scheme runs at expansion time, just like all other macros.

Thanks, that's it.
I wonder why I couldn't find it myself...
The programming style is then to turn "free" variables in unhygienic macros
into identifiers that are bound to one given in the macro call.

Thanks also for your fast replies!
