In Emacs we could as well change the symbol (or whatever object) used as
"tag" for the expansion of the `,` reader construct.  But unless this
solves some practical problem, since there is the cost of breaking code,
I don't understand why we are still discussing this.

You would suggest to make a change like this, Drew?
