Scheme88: Scheme84 ported to Common Lisp.

lang/scheme/impl/scheme88/
Scheme88 is a re-implementation of Indiana University's Scheme84 to run in Common Lisp. The port was developed at the Rice University Department of Computer Science. Major improvements include (1) the inclusion of a correct hygienic macro expander for Kohlbecker's extend-syntax [0, 1]; (2) the inclusion of new control operators, namely, F to grab FUNCTIONAL continuations, and RUN (or the syntactic abbreviation #>), to delimit the extent of control operations [2, 3]; (3) an on-line help facility that provides simple descriptions of built-in functions and syntactic forms.
