Yes, that's an intriguing question.  I'm not sure, really. The # hack 
could also have been done in Python, by requiring parentheses, I guess.
I do wonder how what the impact on performance would have been. Python 
objects are more heavyweight than SCMs, and the Garbage Collection 
opened a lot of possibilities in developing Lily.
