These shadowings are allowed at the REPL but not within a module.  The
draft does not yet specify what happens in a top-level script.  My view
is that top-level scripts should run in the REPL.

It's also my view that redefinition of a syntax keyword does not affect
existing procedure definitions that make use of it.  This is what
happens in all extant R5RS Schemes except SCM.
