Let me suggest that some small changes be made in R5RS. In section
7.3, titled "Derived expression types", please add text that makes it
clear the section contains transformations that rewrites correct
expressions into correct expressions, and that it does to precisely
define all derived expressions.
I disagree with this. The derived expressions in the report are
defined only by their English descriptions. In case of conflict, the
English should take precedence. The English description should be
tightened if necessary.
