Negating a symbol such as -x seems "un-Scheme" like.

You can't negate a symbol with -x in Scheme.  Try it.  You'll find that
"-x" is an unbound variable.

However -5 is valid notation for a negative integer.  It's part of the
number itself, not parsed as a negation.

I would think that proper prefix notation would demand (- x).

Isn't that right?

That is the correct notation.
