That's the definition of a procedure named "(A)". Scheme48, for one, won't take that name, but Chicken will, even with parameters: #;1> (define ((A) n) n) #;2> ((A) 5) 5 And neither will, btw, bind a value to such a symbol in a (let). Clojure symbols can't start with an open paren, so that's just an invalid name.
