Request: let-syntax at top-level REPL

[Derick Eddington]

My (xitomatl keyword-args) from the latest revision 37 of my xitomatl branch now uses let-syntax in a cool way. But it can't be used from ikarus's top-level REPL because:

Ikarus Scheme version 0.0.3+ (revision 1430, build 2008-03-25)
Copyright (c) 2006-2008 Abdulaziz Ghuloum

> (import (xitomatl keyword-args))
> (define/kw/e (f [a 1] b) (values a b))
> (f [:- [b 2]])
Unhandled exception
 Condition components:
   1. &assertion
   2. &who: chi-top*
   3. &message: "BUG: not supported yet at top level"
   4. &irritants: (let-syntax)

I'm in no rush over it.

The whole REPL needs to be redone in order to handle let-syntax, modules, hygiene, and possibly R5RS-like shadowing. I don't have a clean solution to it yet, but I'm thinking about it. Will fix as soon as inspiration comes. :-)

Fixed in 1459. Let me know if there are any problems.
