Summary: Body of parameterize only allows 1 form.

Initial Comment:
The following gives an error:



(define *a* (make-parameter #f))



(define (test) 

  (parameterize ((*a* 5)) 

    (display (*a*)) 

    (newline)))



;;Error: invalid syntax (parameterize ((*a* 5))

(display *a*) (newline))



But it works if I use a begin form in parameterize:



(define (test) 

  (parameterize ((*a* 5)) 

    (begin

      (display (*a*)) 

      (newline))))



The parameterize macro appears to not allow multiple

expressions in the body.
