I have no problem with making it optional.  But I suggest that in that
case you adopt Racket's lexical syntax rather than a minor change from
it, so there will at least be some implementation.  I would guess that
Larceny is unlikely to adopt it, for instance, since Will's paper implies
that the Larceny parser is not table-driven.

Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a
