What about adding `%' and `+' as prefix/suffix to your regexp?

Likewise, could the CL semi-convention of naming "vars with *stars*" e.g.:

(defvar *my-special-frobomatic* {...} )

and constants with + (no equally nice mnemonic here):

(defconst +my-privileged-froboid+ {...} )

be of use to help (textually not syntactically) keep track of variable scoping?

Obv. where a non-existing convention in existing code isn't these won't
help (not without changing _a lot_ of symbol names).

However, maybe as part of the lexbind integration something as above
should be encouraged
in addition to "the prefix namespace".

My impression is that the CL convention for `+' and `*' wrappers is an
idiom born
of lexical/dynamic scoping tensions.
