"--version" or "-v" works. Also, there is "unsyntax-XXX" in the features set.

Have fun; I don't think we are in a hurry.
As for generics, can you remind me of your plan? So far, I think, the
equality predicate (with equal? being a sensible default) should be
associated with the repeated pattern variables.

PS In the current draft, the question where the pattern variables are
bound is coupled to the question of whether repeated pattern variables
are supported. As both questions are orthogonal to each other, I would
decouple the options.
