There are advantages either direction. I agree with you on the advantage of #!curly-infix, which was an alternative recommendation. However, John Cowan strongly argues that the advantage of #!srfi-105 is that it tells you "where to go for more information", as well as being more general.

True. We use .sscm for "sweet-scheme", for example.
