WG1 - Core

description

R6RS extends the R5RS rules to allow identifiers/symbols to begin with `->`.  This allows a procedure to convert something to a `foo` to be named `->foo`.

Many Schemes use the rule "If it's not a valid number, it's a valid identifier/symbol", allowing things like `123x456`.

Should we adopt either of these extensions?
