This comment is about more than macros: Since students are often drawn 
to TYS even though I never mention it to them, I've always been tempted 
to "translate" TYS into what is now Racket, not just literally but with 
some of the HtDP philosophy infused. While I think the Guide is great, 
as are HtDP and HtDP/2e, I wonder if there is some value in a document 
of the length of TYS, and whether TYS can serve as a model. --PR
