That seems extremely unlikely to me. Anything that doesn't at least have some connection to the typed orthodoxy is already essentially impossible to get published these days (a recent submission to ICFP on macros got a 10 out of 10 from one reviewer but was still rejected). My guess is that what you suggest would have likely made Scheme even less relevant to the PL research community than it currently is. For example, a look at the literature suggests that one notable Schemer might have left for greener pastures had fexprs been in Scheme for any length of time: http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/wand98theory.html. (Or maybe he might have just taken up the challenge for the joy of the hunt .... Mitch?)
