defmacro and define-macro.

Yes, but, if I understand well, in order to use the "classical
hygienic macros" of R5RS scheme in guile, you have to "(use-syntax
(ice-9 syncase))" first.

As far as I know, no. define-macro is *not* standard Scheme and will
work in any implementation of Scheme, while the R5RS macros
(define-syntax, let-syntax, ...) are supposed to.
