Hello everyone.

I am making a Scheme R5RS implementation and it is going pretty well.

I am trying implement macros, and don't really know how to implement them.
Scheme has a pretty complex macro system, so for now I am trying to
implement defmacro and then implement define-syntax, syntax-case, etc.

Any tips?

Thanks in advance.
