This has already been discussed several times; IIRC the problem is,
allowing numbers would increase parser coomplexity a lot, because we
already have sequences of letters followed by a number, e.g. note name
followed by a duration.

They are sometimes called macros, but I don't like this name. They
really are variables, even if you must use Scheme to modify their value.
