Hi Noah,

Thanks for the review and patch!

It is correct, but I kinda liked the explicit mention of pattern
variable environments in the original.  In syntax expansion, there are
lexical variables, bound in lexical environments, and pattern variables,
bound in syntax-expansion environments.  The confusion addressed by that
paragraph was to treat a lexical variable as a pattern variable.

Also:

No need to quote symbols that are in @code{}.

Do you still think the discussion of environments is distracting?
Documentation should ulitimately be for users, and if the original text
is not useful at all, by all means we should change it.
