= `let-syntax` Proposal =

By Aaron W. Hsu

== Proposal ==

Remove the `let-syntax` form.

== Rationale ==

`let-syntax` is difficult to specify correctly and can be superseded by the availability of ModulesAndPackagesArcfide. This removes some of the ambiguities and complexities from the R6RS expansion process.

== Comment ==
I'd strongly recommend against any change which breaks an R5RS-compliant program.  w.r.

Is it possible to define let-syntax and friends directly in terms of module using syntax-rules?  --JohnCowan
