And if the first one is a symbol, it puts a colon after it?


I don't want to be a pain; I'm just trying to complete a beta-release of the textbook today, and to send a complete draft to the publisher next month, so it would be nice if this were stabilized by then.

On a related note, is there an ETA on making universe compatible with 2htdp/image?  (If it's soon, I need to rewrite a bunch of things that way; if not, I have less rewriting to do.)
