A Racket package for creating macros with built-in support for defining sub-macros within them, similar to match expanders A Racket package for creating macros with built-in support for defining sub-macros within them, similar to match expanders
Sometimes complex Racket macros need a way for their syntax to be extended. The Racket match form is an example, new patterns can be created for match using define-match-expander. This racket package provides a form for defining a macro with the ability to define expanders for the macro. Consider this contrived example: Sometimes complex Racket macros need ways to extend their syntax. For example, in the `match` form new patterns can be created for `match` using `define-match-expander`. This package provides a form for defining a macro with the ability to define expanders for the macro. Consider this contrived example:

The define-syntax-with-expanders form creates a define-call-each-expander form, which defines syntax transformers that are only used inside the body of a call-each form and expand before call-each does.
