Interesting idea. Also fits neatly with what intrasymbol . means. Will think about it.

It does fit, but on the other hand, being able to have a hanging or prefixed dot could allow useful naming conventions, and as long as it's standardized where dots are allowed, this won't conflict with intrasymbol dots (ie: "foo..bar" translates to one of "(foo .bar)" or "(foo. bar)"). I'm not so concerned about this with regards to dots, but with regard to #\! and #\?, used as suffixes for destructive and predicate functions respectively.
