"-:s" has been there since the original "slib.sh" was created in 2003.
I installed gambc (4.8.8-3.1) on Ubuntu and it starts successfully both
with and without -:s. However, with -:s, "./slib.sh gsi" accepts:
(define :: 5)
but not without -:s.
According to R5RS, :: is a valid identifier.
Which version of Gambit are you running? Perhaps there has been a
recent change in its behavior. gambitscheme.org seems to be down
tonight.
