[plt-scheme] the "[" as a parenthis charactor

Hey, that's a cool idea. I'll start using it.  I guess this means my coding
conventions are off "standard".

I often use "[" to indicate a application of a calulated function.  here's a
dumb example:

(+ 3
  [(lambda (x) (+ 2 x)) 5])

is there a differnt convention for this?  If not i'll just use control-[


A note, something other then control-[ might be desirable as control-[ is
"escape".  If the rest of the world decides to follow along, this can cause
problems with editing from a terminal emulators/ssh, and especially emacs as
most of it's commands start with escape.  Alt-[ seems to be already bound
for something.
