@ looks as good as 1 to me. We now have a three-way selection: bang, at, or
one. Please vote.

Subject: Re: One more vote on "linear update" and "!"
I hesitate to suggest this to the list since I'm still not convinced I've
read and processed *all* the salient discussions, but it seems to me that
"@" might be a viable alternative suffix character to "!" to mean
linear-update. I think it looks sufficiently un-letter-like, it doesn't
have much (any?) history of use within Scheme already, and the "at"
semantics has a nice assonance with the concept of locality of reference,
which is what linear update is all about anyway.
take@
drop-right@
append@
append-reverse@
etc.
