-The `(at-syntax expr)' form is a useful syntax-time utility that can
-be used to sort of evaluate an expression at syntax time, and doing so
-in a well behaved way (eg, it respects the source for-syntax bindings,
-but it does have some issues).  It can be used to implement an escape
-to the syntax level that is not restricted like `begin-for-syntax'.
-
-The basic idea of the code is to plant the given expression on the
-right hand side of a `let-syntax' -- inside a `(lambda (stx) ...)'  to
-make it a valid transformer, with a singe use of this macro so that we
-get it to execute with `local-expand'.  The macro returns a 3d
-expression that contains the evaluated expression "somehwhere",
-depending on the expansion of `let-syntax' -- so to make it easy to
-find we plant it inside a thunk (so this works as long as `let-syntax'
-does not include 3d procedure values in its expansion).  Finally, the
-constructed `let-syntax' is expanded, we search through the resulting
-syntax for the thunk, then apply it to get the desired value.
-
-Here's a silly example to demonstrate:
-
-  > (define-syntax (compile-time-if stx)
-      (syntax-case stx ()
-        [(_ cond expr1 expr2)
-         (if (at-syntax #'cond) #'expr1 #'expr2)]))
-  > (define-for-syntax x 8)
-  > (define x 100)
-  > (compile-time-if (< x 10) (+ x 10) (- x 10))
-  110
-
-And another example, creating a macro for syntax-time expressions:
-
-  > (define-syntax (compile-time-value stx)
-      (syntax-case stx ()
-        [(_ expr) #`(quote #,(at-syntax #'expr))]))
-  > (compile-time-value (* x 2))
-  16
-
-but the `quote' here is a hint that this can get 3d values into
-syntax, and all the problems that are involved.  Also, note that it
-even works if you try to do something like:
-
-  > (compile-time-value (begin (set! x 11) x))
-  11
-
-(but, of course, it cannot be used to define new bindings).
