On tryarc (so not anarki):

  arc> ':abc
  :abc
But yeah, feel free. I've often wanted :foo to eval to itself just like in common lisp. Currently I use 'else where I would use :else in wart.

Interesting. Well, I can push what I currently have, and if necessary remove it later.

Also, one issue is that after adding ssyntax support, :symbol is printed as #:symbol, since they're the same. Should I be adding a special case for that?

Thanks! Looks great. I made one tweak: https://github.com/arclanguage/anarki/commit/c416f3a36f. And I've migrated 'else to :else. I can live with printing keywords in racket syntax. No need to add complexity for something so cosmetic. (Analogous to my thinking on nil: http://www.arclanguage.org/item?id=11864; http://arclanguage.org/item?id=12661; http://arclanguage.org/item?id=12814)
