I created a hygienic macro called `fork` that creates a lambda function which chains comparison functions together like this. (fork number? and integer?) -> (lambda (x) (and (number? x) (integer? x))) Or more generally, (fork check1 connector check2) -> (lambda (x) (connector (check1 x) (check2 x))) It can take variable terms and it has the same behavior so that you can write more complicated definitions. The macro I wrote has the same behavior as (fork check1 connector1 check2 connector2 check3) -> (lambda (x) (connector2 (connector1 (check1 x) (check2 x)) (check3 x))) But it defines more lambda functions than that. Pic related is the actual definition. I am wondering whether or not it's possible to write a hygienic definition of the fork macro that takes any number of arguments, but only defines one lambda function. I want to use syntax-case or define-syntax, No defmacro macros. Also the reason I defined it as a macro instead of a function was because `and` and `or` are macros in scheme so you can't pass them to functions as parameters (at least to my knowledge).
