Since I have the situation of requiring the extended syntax bindings
myself sometimes (and always forget about this), I wonder if it would
be desirable to load it by default.  That would mean "eval" always has
access to the non-standard syntactic bindings usually available in
chicken. The downside is the extra time needed for loading and
initializing "chicken-syntax", including the amount of runtime storage
needed (I haven't measured this, though).  An additional point in
favor is that new users are likely not able to figure out the
"(require 'chicken-syntax)" which is needed to evaluate chicken code.
