Any chance that 6.0 will read symbols beginning with ":" (other than ":"
exactly) as keywords?
(I was thinking that a major version number might be a good time to do
this change, in case anyone is concerned that the change might break
some code somewhere. IIRC, someone said there was a SRFI implementation
that kludged its own keywords from symbols and might need a small tweak
in response to this change. I'm not aware of any other code that would
be affected by this change. Racket could continue to *write* keywords
with "#:" for now, if that makes the change easier.)
P.S., This change would make this the most magical holiday season ever.
