Re: Honu: Syntactic Extension for Algebraic Notation through Enforestation

Providing powerful macros in Dylan purely through pattern matching is
I think a failed experiment. It's often possible to come up with
something that works, but the chances are that no one else will ever
understand it (including yourself later).

At the same time, building things using quasi-quote in Lisp is a bit
low-level, especially the use of gensym.

This does seem to occupy a nice place in the middle, with simple
things doable via hygienic templates and more complex things using
normal code written in the  language itself.
