The macro-character @ allows evaluation of expressions at read-time and, afaik, is mostly used when globally defined constants occur in code to be compiled. I would like to use the @-character for something else but still think we need a means for read-time evaluation. How about re-using the comma character for this? I.e., a comma occuring outside a backquoted expression would have have the effect @ currently has. Also, I would define it in sysenv, so no need to libload libc/constants anymore. Any objections or thoughts?
