Thanks, that macro definition works fine. I did, however, as this macro
is used in several places in my code, just convert it to a SCM_SYNTAX
which also solved the problem. The problem occured when I was checking
my old code for our recent conversion to guile 1.6. In most places the
old procedure->macro worked well though.

It's a remaining in my code from around 1990, long before guile, when I
was a heavily scm (which guile is based upon) user.

It seems as I should try to adapt to the new macros :)
Thanks once again!
