(sorry if I'm asking too many questions about macros lately, I'm learning
about them but I keep running into scenarios I can't find documentation for)
I'm trying to capture the value of a variable whose identifier I can only
get with format-id, inside a with-syntax.
Something like this pseudocode (imagine name-foo contains a list of
symbols):
(define-syntax (my-macro stx)
(syntax-case stx ()
((_ name other-args ...)
(with-syntax* ((varname (format-id #'name "~a-foo" #'name))
(varval (cons (datum->syntax #'varname) (datum->syntax
#'(other-args ...)))))
#'(define name (λ varval (print varval)))))))
Which of course doesn't work. I understand this might have to do with how
macros work at an earlier phase than runtime, so is it impossible?
