Hmm, that's true, but at the same time I'd like this to be a complete
hash table specification that could theoretically have come after
section "6.9 Bytevectors" in R7RS-small, as "6.10 Hashtables".

Do you think it would hinder adoption that the reader syntax is
mandatory, or lead to other problems?
