#1306: The body of a syntax definer should be allowed to be a macro call

Component:  unknown     |    Version:  4.11.0

 Currently Chicken doesn't support things like this:

 {{{
 (define (baz) 32)

 (define-syntax foo
   (syntax-rules ()
     ((foo) (syntax-rules () ((bar) (baz)))))))

 (define-syntax quux (foo)) ; fails with "foo not defined"

 }}}

 On most Schemes that support macro varieties other than syntax-rules (and
 therefore extend R5RS in this situation), macro calls are expanded in this
 position, and `(quux)` evaluates to 32.  However, on Chicken they aren't.
 They should be.
