#### 1.6`` Defining Simple Macros

( require syntax/parse/define )

> > syntax

> > ( define-simple-macro (macro-id . pattern) pattern-directive ...
> > template)

Defines a macro named macro-id; equivalent to the following:

> ( define-syntax (macro-id stx)
> ( syntax-parse stx
> [(macro-id . pattern) pattern-directive ... #'template]))

Examples:

> > ( define-simple-macro (fn x:id rhs:expr) ( lambda (x) rhs))
> > ((fn x x) 17)
> 17
> > (fn 1 2)
> fn: expected identifier at: 1

> > ( define-simple-macro (fn2 x y rhs)
> #:declare x id
> #:declare y id
> #:declare rhs expr
> ( lambda (x y) rhs))

> > ((fn2 a b ( + a b)) 3 4)
> 7
> > (fn2 a #:b 'c)
> fn2: expected identifier at: #:b
