We are conducting a highly scientific poll.
The question we want to answer is whether people would like for the
Racket standard languages to have symbols that begin with the colon
character (except for the symbol `:`) to read the same has keywords that
begin with pound-colon.
That is, when this glorious colon-keywords support is added, instead of
having to type and look at:
(foo #:abc 1 #:xyx 42)
you can choose to bask in the beauty of:
(foo :abc 1 :xyx 42)
Then you would be free to use the gorgeous colon-keywords everywhere in
Racket, including in quick one-line examples in email list posts.
All people of great aesthetic sense, intellect, and good moral fiber,
who would naturally like everyone to have the right to use either
colon-keywords or (eww) pound-colon keywords (in unity, and without
unnecessary `#lang` schisms!), should answer the quick poll:

(When the poll question asks "Is it worth changing?", read it is as "You
are a good person, and you naturally think Racket should support both
colon-keywords and pound-colon keywords, right?")
I call upon all freedom-loving Racketeers to stand up and fight for the
righteous cause of colon-keywords. The moment to answer this highly
scientific poll is now.
