Embedded DEFINE forms

[gls@Think.COM (Guy Steele)]

I have watched the controversy going on for quite some
time, and it seems to me that at this late date, on the
eve, apparently, of widespread publication of a standard
for SCHEME, that there is not consensus in the SCHEME
community on the subject of embedded DEFINE forms.
If the community cannot agree, nor even agree to agree
on some arbitrary choice, then the matter should not be
standardized.

I see no harm in the standard not defining what happens to
embedded DEFINE forms.  This would allow the various camps
to be upward-compatible extensions of the standard (though
of course not with each other in this regard).  RRRS might
even have, as a footnote or appendix, descriptions of the
competing proposals.
