But then it's not just about syntactic sugar that helps the wisp end of
things.  The changes are affecting how things have to be written at the
scheme level.  While I understand your reasoning for offering the wisp
syntax as an alternative, it seems problematic to me if a desire to
improve readability of the wisp syntax requires changes to how things
are written on the scheme end.
