Keyword syntax

[Frederic Brunel]

Hi,

I think I'm coming a bit too late to debate on language syntax but why keywords
must be prefixed by a #?? It's a annoying in comparison with the Common Lisp
syntax... In class definition its ugly! :-(

(define-class my-class ()
 (slot1 #:accessor slot1 <-- !!
  ...))
