I'm not much into macros yet, but while syntax-case is a R6RS feature, I thought there is a portable implementation that runs on top of R5RS? At least Chicken 2.6 provides that, and its implementor is viscerally against R6RS.

Yes, SYNTAX-CASE has been around for quite a while, and there is a portable implementation that has just a few prerequisites beyond what R5RS provides.
