Script-Fu scripts are based on the Scheme language. Scheme is a dialect of 
Lisp. There are a number of Scheme interpreters which may offer slightly 
different features and compliance with the Scheme standards. The web page you 
are reading appears to be for the Scheme variant used in mzscheme.

Script-Fu as of GIMP 2.4 more closely follows the R5RS. The document you 
should be reading can be found at 
http://www.schemers.org/Documents/Standards/R5RS/r5rs.pdf.

Some aspects described in the R5RS are not supported in Script-Fu. 
define-syntax is one of them.
