    119 If {{EXPR}} is a pair with the car being a symbol, and line-number
    120 information is available for this expression, then this procedure returns
    121 the associated line number. If line-number information is not available,
    122 then {{#f}} is returned.  Note that line-number information for
    123 expressions is only available in the compiler.

    265265It is not sufficient for the included file to require the {{syntax-case}} extension. Call {{(require-extension syntax-case)}} ''before'' calling {{include}}.
    266 
    267 ==== Why are macros not visible outside of the compilation unit in which they are defined?
    268 
    269 Macros are defined during compile time, so when a file has been compiled, the definitions are gone. An exception
    270 to this rule are macros defined with {{define-macro}}, which are also visible at run-time, i.e.
    271 in {{eval}}. To use macros defined in other files, use the {{include}} special
    272 form.

    305298declarations) and use this feature only if the application works properly.
    306299
    307 ==== Why do I get a warning when I define a global variable named {{match}}?
    308 
    309 Even when the {{match}} unit is not used, the macros from that package are visible in the compiler.
    310 The reason for this is that macros can not be accessed from library units (only when explicitly evaluated in running
    311 code). To speed up macro-expansion time, the compiler and the interpreter both already provide the compiled
    312 {{match-...}} macro definitions. Macros shadowed lexically are no problem, but global definitions
    313 of variables named identically to (global) macros are useless - the macro definition shadows the global
    314 variable.
    315 
    316 This problem can be solved using a different name or undefining the macro, like this:
    317

    319 (eval-when (compile eval) (undefine-macro! 'match))
