We must not do that.  That would lead to such usage creeping into Lisp
code.

I don't believe this syntax would help people learn Lisp.  If you have
some hard evidence, that might convince me, but I think you are
simply speculating.

It seems impossible that changes in Emacs Lisp would convince people
to start editing with Emacs.
