post	Released Cyclone Scheme 0.33.0	Allow easier macro debugging from the REPL using expand.

Features

• Allow easier macro debugging from the REPL by using expand. Passing a single expression as an argument will return the expanded expression:

  cyclone> (expand '(when #t (+ 1 2 3)))
  (if #t ((lambda () (+ 1 2 3))) )
  

• During compilation the compiler will now call itself as a subprocess to perform Scheme-to-C compilation. This allows Cyclone to free all of those resources before calling the C compiler to generate a binary, resulting in more efficient compilation.

Bug Fixes

• Do not inline calls to system as it could result in multiple calls of the same command.
