   Today I learned that Racket and Guile represent syntax objects for lists differently.

   I don't know yet which one I prefer, because in Guile `syntax` not always returns a syntax-object as one could expect, sometimes it returns a list.
   
   (use-modules (system syntax))
   (syntax? (syntax (+ 3 4))) ;; => #f
   (syntax? (syntax hi)) ;; => #t

   On the other hand TSPL4 book says that #'(+ 3 4) returns a valid list.

   Who read RnRS? What does it say for this case?
