> So you'd rather have to write the following?

no, I prefer

  arc> (= x 1 y 2 z 3)
I'm not suggesting variable names need to be quoted.

What I don't want to do is to this:

  [1]arc> (= a x b y c z)
I prefer:

  [2]arc> (= a 'x b 'y c 'z)
(assuming x,y,z are in fact just symbols, I expect to use [2] not [1])

And I currently can do this in arc.

However there's

  (case a x (dosomething))
where x is in fact a symbol.
