I am not sure what comparison you are referring to. However, I was
comparing Mark Weaver's syntax-rules macro with my revised syntax-case
macro, both of which have the same end result, and suggesting that
Zelphir should not use my original syntax-case macro (the one he has
referenced in his gitlab repository).
You must be thinking of something else.
