Nonsense, as Neil Van Dyke pointed out to me. I linked to an implementation of records in SYNTAX-CASE, which I mistook for what I was after.... So, for the record, I don't know of a fairly portable SYNTAX-CASE implementation, by which I mean one based on a reasonably easy to integrate low-level macro facility.
