The fact that you are intending to switch to a "curly-braces and
semicolons" syntax suggests to me that there is some advantage to such a
syntax over standard Scheme syntax.  Am I interpreting this correctly?

What are the advantages of the #honu syntax, especially for someone
familiar with both Scheme and Java syntax?
