    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!" ?
