My understanding is that that'd be (^ exp ...).  `thunk' might be nicer
for one's tastes, but some consistency between different people's code
would be desired, so let me recommend sticking to ^ because:

* It's 4 characters shorter, which is a whole 1/20 (5%) of 80 columns!

* It's consistent with all the ^x etc.

I'm not entirely serious about the first point, though I do desire
consistency between people's code. :-)
