A possible solution/compromise is to *require* that "&name[initial-exp]"
be followed by a braced-delimited literal part, if necessary empty:
&name[initial-exp]{}
This avoids the incompatibility. It makes parsing slightly more
complex, but the extra code and state needed is small.
To clarify: Parsing is slightly more complex if an implementation wishes to support *both* SRFI-108 and R6RS brackets-as-parens (or Kawa's brackets-as-vector-constructor). At least if not requiring a separator between a symbol and a starting bracket. -- --Per Bothner per@xxxxxxxxxxx http://per.bothner.com/
