*Including* MzScheme, Arc's current host, which for some reason I'm
finding increadibly funny at the moment, given that the following have
existed in my personal MzScheme init file for almost a decade:  ;-}  ;-}

    ;;;; rpw3-hacks.scm -- 980718 rpw3@sgi.com
    ;;;; The "usual suspects" I like to have around when writing
    ;;;; one-off scripts and doing interactive hacking.

    (defmacro def (name . value)
      `(define ,name ,@value))
