[plt-dev] #hash vs. #s

Good point. For example:

     (define table
       `#hash((,(read) . foo)
              (,(read) . bar)
              (,(read) . baz)))

The reader constructs a hash with a single entry whose key is the 
S-expression (unquote (read)), and it's too late for `qq' to reconstruct 
the source.

I've mostly implemented this on my machine. I can submit a patch, but 
which behavior do you prefer?

1) qq leaves the key position quoted and interprets the value position.
2) qq errors on any occurrence of `unquote' in a key position.
3) scrap this whole extension and leave `qq' as is.
