README

This repository contains an implementation of Oleg Kiselyov's CK-macros.

Cloning
-------

This repository includes submodules. If you use the following clone command,
it will automatically initialize and update each submodule in the repository.

  $ git clone --recursive https://github.com/mnieper/rapid-macros.git

Run Tests
---------

Assuming you have Chibi Scheme installed, you can run the tests by issuing
the command

  chibi-scheme -Irapid-lib tests.scm

in the main directory. The test suite should work as well with any other
R7RS-compliant implementation of the Scheme programming language although
the exact command-line syntax may differ.

Example
-------

  $ chibi-scheme -mscheme.base -mrapid.macros -msrfi.2

      ((simple-match expr (pattern template) ...)
