[Scheme-reports] Buggy definition of BEGIN

[Andre van Tonder <andre@x>]

On p 56, the definition of BEGIN is buggy:

(define-syntax begin
   (syntax-rules ()
     ((begin exp ...)
     ((lambda () exp ...)))))

because with this definition we get the following error:

   (let ((x 1))
     (begin (define x 2))
     x)                     ===> 1 (ERROR!!)

QED
