Racket needs a way to avoid trouble with tail-indentation, just as it
avoids trouble with tail-recursion.
Years ago I used a lisp that used / to indicate a final sublist:
(a a a
/bbb bbb bbb
/def
)
meant the same as
(a a a
(bbb bbb bbb
(def
)))
It was very convenient and allowed let and if to nest gracefully.
Are there any spcial characters or the like left in Racket that could
be used for this purpose?
