I tested the usual suite of Schemes with `'[a b c]` to see how they reacted to the square brackets.  R6RS requires the result to be `(a b c)`.

Evaluates to `(a b c)`: Racket, Gauche, Gambit, Chicken, Bigloo, Guile, SISC, Chez, Vicare, Larceny, Ypsilon, Mosh, !IronScheme, STklos, KSi, Schemik, Elk, Oaklisp, SXM, Sizzle, Spark

Evaluates to the symbol `[a`, followed by undefined-variable error on `b`:  Chibi, SCM, Shoe, !TinyScheme, Dream, Scheme 7, BDC, XLisp, UMB, VX, Llava, Dfsch, Inlab

Syntax error: MIT, Scheme48/scsh, NexJ, !SigScheme, RScheme, Owl Lisp, Scheme 9

Evaluates to `#(a b c)`: Rep, !FemtoLisp

Evaluates to `($bracket-list$ a b c)`: Kawa
