This predicate is in the (system syntax) module in Guile.

Syntax objects are part of the syntax-case procedural macro system. A
syntax object wraps a value with things like lexical context and
source location (when available).

For example:

scheme@(guile-user)> (call-with-input-string "(1 2 3)" read-syntax)
$16 = #<syntax:unknown file:1:0 (#<syntax:unknown file:1:1 1>
#<syntax:unknown file:1:3 2> #<syntax:unknown file:1:5 3>)>

See 6.8.3 Support for the ‘syntax-case’ System in the manual.

Hope this helps,
