(I was interested in feedback on the following before submitting a formal
comment.)
Would it make sense for "case" to be defined in terms of backquote rather
than quote? The problem is that the use of quote makes references to
constants impossible. For example, this doesn't work:
(define some-const 'xxx)
(case some-val
[(some-const)
...])
If "case" were defined in terms of backquote, though, this would be
possible:
(define some-const 'xxx)
(case some-val
[(,some-const)
...])
