This isn't specific to racket, any implementation of R6RS scheme should fully support this, although the define-syntax form is slightly different. I checked this with my R6RS implementation and it works just as you would expect ( https://github.com/maplant/scheme-rs )

How close are you to getting a "full" implementation of R6RS? I've been thinking of picking either your project or Steel[0] for a Rust Scheme thing
