You're right. A symbol reader written in Scheme that understands all
three syntaxes would be a good way to start mapping out the details of
their interaction. I can write the code if I can get feedback from
others who have more experience.

Before we embark on that, we'd need to:

1) Come to a consensus on whether unquoted keywords should be
self-evaluating objects, or special syntax for argument lists. I'll ask
Common Lisp implementors for help so we understand the implications.

2) Get tentative buy-in from at least a few implementors (i.e. that they
don't think the idea is totally lame and that we could at least try it :)
