Okay, I've begun putting this together.  For reference, I'm looking at:

  * the thread so far on in this list and the wg* lists

  * the pattern matching implementations provided with Bigloo, Chicken
    Scheme, and Racket

  * R6RS case and syntax-case

  * the platform-independent pattern matching library described by
    Andrew K. Wright and Bruce F. Duba in the paper ``Pattern Matching
    for Scheme''

  * Common Lisp's DESTRUCTURING-BIND macro

what else should I be looking at?  What other scheme implementations
provide pattern matching support?
    
Thanks,
