When I try to do that inside a module, it doesn't work. {{define-ir-syntax*}} is a macro that makes macros, using matchable to do so. OK, so let me try something else: When I make a file not in a module but just something.scm and in that file only put: (import brev-separate) (define-ir-syntax* (jolly) '(print ""This is jolly good"")) (jolly) and then csc it and run it, it works. But inside of a module it does not work. I need {{(import-for-syntax matchable)}}. This behavior, I don't know if it's a bug or not but it was unintuitive enough to send me on an 8 hour rabbit hole trek. Which is fine. I was embarrassed in the IRC channel but I'm glad everyone was cool. I wish I understood the module system better. I feel like I'm just klutzing around, testing out what works and doesn't work.
