(I think this is when the "(" would otherwise be in column 0, to avoid Emacs thinking that it is the start of a new defun.) What should we do about this? Is it reasonable to again allow "\(" as a special case - perhaps only when SCM_ELISP_READ_EXTENSIONS is defined - or do we need to implement the Elisp reader completely independently of the Guile reader?
