Nanopass Compiler Library

This repositiory contains an R6RS version of the Nanopass Compiler Infrastructure described in [1, 2, 3, 4], along with the beginnings of a test compiler for the library and the rough start to a users guide. The nanopass framework currently supports Chez Scheme, Vicare Scheme, and Ikarus Scheme.
