Re: [Scheme-reports] auxiliary syntax

It would be just as good or even better to say

(define-syntax else
  (syntax-rules ()
    ((else expr ...) (syntax-error "bad use of else"))))

IMHO it is a great mistake to specify via code, as people take the code
to be the One True Spec rather than just an example.
