This section provides an introduction to writing robust macros with
@scheme[syntax-parse] and syntax classes.
The task is to write a macro named @scheme[mylet] that has the same
syntax and behavior as Racket's @scheme[let] form. The macro should

As a running example we use the following task: write a macro named
@scheme[mylet] that has the same syntax and behavior as Racket's

For simplicity, we handle only the first case for now. We return to

First, we import @scheme[syntax-parse] @scheme[for-syntax], since we
