Bug
===

The first 3 examples given in the documentation for 'macroexpand' in
section 9.4.2 do not expand to the printed results; for example

        (macroexpand '(+ 1 2)) yields
        =>
        #<tree-il (apply (toplevel +) (const 1) (const 2))>

instead of

        '(+ 1 2)

Moreover, the optional 'm' argument (see psyntax.scm: 2567) seems to
have no influence;

        (equal? (macroexpand '(+ 1 2)) (macroexpand '(+ 1 2) 'e)
(macroexpand '(+ 1 2) 'c))
         =>
         #t

Sincerely,
Ikester
