Re: with-syntax return error in Guile, not in Kawa or Racket

about the necessity of 'list it is because
optimizer-parse-square-brackets-arguments-lister return a list like this:
((- 6 4) : (+ i 2)) BUT i suspect ,as in scheme , a bit due to
homoiconicity of lisp/scheme (that represent code and data the same way)
that out of context ((- 6 4) : (+ i 2)) can be evaluated and interpreted as
(2 : (+ i 2)) depending of i and then interpreted as (apply 2 (: (+ i 1))
but that is not what i want here and
optimizer-parse-square-brackets-arguments-lister was first used in
procedure , not pre-compil macro before expansion.

about #f , i'm working symbolically, at this stage for optimisation, the
context ,and bindings will be evaluated when the expansion of macro is done
and then evaluated .

Keep in mind  ,all that is for testing, beta-code ,and i'm discovering new
things about macro, and that   my knowledge and the code could change again.

If someone have concrete solution to write better code i will be glad to
integrate this in my code.
