Just a nit: this isn't exactly the Common Lisp syntax. In CL, #|
introduces a balanced reader comment and must be terminated by a matching
|#. The syntax for escaped symbols is |whatever|. E.g., |e^{i\pi} + 1 =
0| is a symbol in Common Lisp. Not that that changes the thrust of your
message, just that it would be unfortunate if Clojure adopted the Common
Lisp comment syntax for escaped symbols. :-)

Was some work done on this since this proposal was expressed?
