1 Old Syntactic Forms

(#%module-begin form ...)

Like #%plain-module-begin from scheme/base, but (require-for-syntax mzscheme) is added to the beginning of the form sequence, thus importing mzscheme into the transformer environment for the module body. (In contrast, scheme/base exports for-syntax minimal transformer support, while scheme exports all of scheme/base for-syntax.

(#%plain-module-begin form ...)

The same binding as #%plain-module-begin from scheme/base.

(#%plain-lambda formals body ...+)

The same binding as #%plain-lambda in scheme/base. (This binding was not present in version 372 and earlier.)

(lambda formals body ...+)

(λ formals body ...+)

The same bindings as #%plain-lambda.

(#%app proc-expr arg-expr ...)

(#%app)

The same binding as #%plain-app from scheme/base.

(#%plain-app proc-expr arg-expr ...)

(#%plain-app)

The same binding as #%app. (This binding was not present in version 372 and earlier.)

(define id expr)

(define (head args) body ...+)

head   =   id     |   (head args)           args   =   arg-id ...     |   arg-id ... . rest-id

Like define in scheme/base, but without support for keyword arguments or optional arguments.

(if test-expr then-expr else-expr)

(if test-expr then-expr)

Like if in scheme/base, but else-expr defaults to (void).

(cond cond-clause ...)

(case val-expr case-clause ...)

Like cond and case in scheme/base, but else and => are recognized as unbound identifiers, instead of as the scheme/base bindings.

(fluid-let ([id expr] ...) body ...+)

Provides a kind of dynamic binding via mutation of the ids.

The fluid-let form first evaluates each expr to obtain an entry value for each id. As evaluation moves into body, either though normal evaluation or a continuation jump, the current value of each id is swapped with the entry value. On exit from body, then the current value and entry value are swapped again.

(define-struct id-maybe-super (field-id ...) maybe-inspector-expr)

maybe-inspector-expr   =       |   expr

Like define-struct from scheme/base, but with fewer options. Each field is implicitly mutable, and the optional expr is analogous to supplying an #:inspector expression.

(let-struct id-maybe-super (field-id ...) body ...+)

Expands to

(let ()

(define-struct id-maybe-super (field-id ...))

body ...+)

(require raw-require-spec)

(require-for-syntax raw-require-spec)

(require-for-template raw-require-spec)

(require-for-label raw-require-spec)

(provide raw-provide-spec)

(provide-for-syntax raw-provide-spec)

(provide-for-label raw-provide-spec)

Like #%require and #%provide. The -for-syntax, -for-template, and -for-label forms are translated to #%require and #%provide using for-syntax, for-template, and for-label sub-forms, respectively.

(#%datum . datum)

Expands to 'datum, even if datum is a keyword.

(#%top-interaction . form)

The same as #%top-interaction in scheme/base.
