LGTM in general.  A few questions to address now or later; I'm fine with
pushing as is.

On the broad side, does the current "source-properties" mechanism make
sense?  I get the feeling that a variant of `read' that returned
annotated objects would be better in many ways.  Perhaps that is an
orthogonal question though.  For prior art, see Racket's read-syntax:

  http://docs.racket-lang.org/reference/Reading.html#(def._((quote._~23~25kernel)._read-syntax))

What do you think about a name like `unique-datum?'?  It's uniqueness
(in the eq? sense) that is the thing, right?

Do check to see that the result of

  ,time (compile-file "module/ice-9/psyntax.scm")

is not too badly affected.

Cheers,
