Isn't Scheme surprising to us mortals ;-)

Albeit dangerous, I'd vote for having it (as an option, at least). It should just
accept ``classical'' identifiers (C-like if you wish). Background: I'm playing with
the idea of letting users enter formulas for a small application (users not aware
of Scheme), and I think the ``classical'' syntax is easier to grasp for them.

Yes, makes sense to let the macro expander do the parse work. Maybe a
first-stage tokenizer for the ``micro-syntax'' (this would be called
a lexer in a more traditional framework?) could be thrown in as an
option.
