Thank you very much, it works wonderful!

> Presumably you meant (kawe base), rather than (scheme base). (The latter should only contain bindings defined for it in R7RS, of course.) I also checked in a fix for this. Thanks for point this out.

Indeed, sorry for the inaccuracy.

There are a couple more, I'll open a separate ticket for that.

Might have confused a subsequent issue, that I'll report separately.

Thank you again for your help.

Best regards,

The following code fails to run/compile with trunk kawa.  The issue might be related to Java 8: running it with Kawa r8803 built with Java 7 (an installation I already had) seems to work alright, but the same revision built with Java 8 throws the error at the end of the report.

Additionally, 'with-syntax' cannot be used without explicitly importing (kawa lib std_syntax).  I might make sense to export that directly from (scheme base).  I can open a separate ticket for this if you prefer.

=== somemodule.scm
(define-library (somemodule)
  (import
    (scheme base)
    (kawa base)
    (kawa lib std_syntax))
  (begin
    (define-syntax some-list
      (lambda (stx)
        (syntax-case stx ()
          ((_ a b rest ...)
           (with-syntax (((thelist ...) (syntax (1 2 3))))
             (syntax (list thelist ...)))))))

    (display 3)
    (display (some-list
              aaa
              bbb
              (cons 3 222)
              (cons 2 333)))))

(import (somemodule))
