I guess to me, the term "literal identifier" is an oxymoron. It's either a literal (5, #f, in this case :) or an identifier (foo, car, +). Unless "identifier" means nothing more or less than "symbol". When I write (:) in syntax-case, I'm saying ": is not a binding form; I want to see literally a :, and I don't want to bind the : in the pattern to whatever you find in that position". I'm trying to reproduce that effect here. Shriram
