Message-ID: <4ee1788f-516d-4a1b-8c13-4dc48b3729b8@default> (raw)

And besides - where do you stop doing this kind of thing?
Do we do something similar for characters that can
be mistaken for a period, in case you use one in an
attempt at dotted-pair syntax?
Do we do something similar for chars that can be
mistaken for a comma, inside backquoted sexps?
Do we do something similar for chars that can be
mistaken for a backquote? An at-sign? Ordinary
parentheses?
I really hope you reconsider this. To me it looks
like an ugly hack that can bring only harm (including
more, not less, confusion), not good.
