description

Jussi Piitulainen writes in a private email to John Cowan:

  `(cond-expand ...)` entry (page 15): "Otherwise, the `cond-expand` has no effect." I think it would be better for it to "expand to nothing", except the sample implementation seems to be a syntax error, which surely is an effect.

[http://srfi.schemers.org/srfi-0/srfi-0.html SRFI 0] clearly requires that an error be signaled if the cond-expand falls off the end.  Unfortunately, when I created CondExpandCowan, on which people actually voted, I forgot to specify anything for this case.  In Chibi it has no effect.  Changed editorially to "the behavior is unspecified".

  Also, "spliced into the current context as if by `begin`" -> "expanded to a `begin`" and let that `begin` have the splicing semantics if the context is appropriate.

Changed editorially.
