I have tried to understand R6RS's lexical syntax. According to it,
non-"peculiar" identifiers (that have nothing to do with "@") have to
start with an "initial". The set of initials, however, does not
contain "@". Or is there some erratum?

I'm no R6RS expert, but depending on the final answer to this
question, "@" should be deprecated (and eventually be replaced by
"object") as well.
