This would require more clever tokenizer (symbol splitting) than current
implementation in infix.scm. How would you split 1-1e-1? I do not want to write
another tokenizer - rather I would like to rewrite "read" to support lisp-like
readtables and than configure it to enable "classical" identifiers.
Any objections?
