In R7RS they could have different names. (scheme bytestring-notation)
and (scheme bytestring), for instance. (But does cond-expand even make
sense for reader notation? Surely it’d cause a reader error in any

Since my two co-authors seem to be against a split, I’m holding off on
it unless there are compelling new reasons.
