Thanks. The two limitations to this solution I see are:
1. My code would diverge further from "scheme/base", when I'm trying to
stay close to it.
2. Other people would still have to either use "#:" or go through the
same contortions themselves to diverge.

You can do this on your own code with readtables:

How about symbols beginning with ":" be read as keywords, as if they
began with "#:"?
I want to use keyword arguments in my libraries, but "#:" is big and
scary-looking, and a pain to type.
I think this change would break very little old code, and any such
old code could be updated pretty easily.
