First-class macros have types

In Conf. Rec. POPL '00: 27th ACM Symp. Princ. of Prog. Langs., pages 133-141, 2000


In modern Scheme, a macro captures the lexical environment where it is defined. This creates an opportunity for extending Scheme so that macros are first-class values. The key to achieving this goal, while preserving the ability to compile programs into reasonable code, is the addition of a type system. Many interesting things can be done with first-class macros, including the construction of a useful module system in which modules are also first-class.
