People have played around with those exact ideas for decades. No-one has ever come close to making it work.
It's working just fine here; but I'm not simply changing syntax, this is a ground up redesign.
Any thoughts on SRFI-119's syntax?

I don't think this is something that will happen inside of an existing language.

It needs to be a complete redesign where all parts pulls in the same direction.
