replacing <>{}

[Paul Haahr <haahr@mv.us.adobe.com>]

ok, so it seems like we've got a million different camps.  are there  
any two people who agree?

i keep wavering between %{} (and all the problems it implies) and ${}  
(and all the problems it implies).  both are seriously flawed.

anyway, if anyone's got brilliant insights, let me know.

and, by the way, resemblence to another language's cons operation is  
not going to be a strong point in the favor of a new notation.  <>{}  
has nothing to do with consing.  (sorry if that sounds harsh.)
