I thought it was an R5 I was using because it had syntax-rules, but
re-reading the R_RS docs, I see that R4 could have had them as an
extension.

R4RS described define-syntax, syntax-rules, etc in an appendix. I think
the system was pretty much identical to what became "official" in R5RS,
but I am not entirely sure, because I have always prefered the low-level,
LISP defmacro-style macros, which many R4RS implementations also offered.
