I just followed a notation some other systems use.
I thought this notation might be less confusing because
Guile is going to support multiple languages and many
languages would use a notation like this.

Is there any reason we shouldn't allow this notation
in Scheme?  It is not R5RS-compatible, but it should
be user's choice whether or not to follow R5RS.

Just forget about my error..
