Can those of us that permit the destructive splicing operation `,.'
inside quasiquote agree on the symbol it corresponds to? That is, if
,@X is equivalent to (unquote-splicing X), what is ,.X equivalent to?
Perhaps a future R^nRS should mention this as an extension.
I think this feature is a kludge; I presume you have Common Lisp in
mind. How about "UNQUOTE-SPLICING!" ?
