Time for some bikeshedding!

The current draft proposes to use

#[uid field ...]

for the lexical syntax of (non-opaque) records, a syntax that can be
found in Chez Scheme. for example.

On the other hand, given the existing notations for bytevectors,
#vu8(...) and #u8(...), the lexical syntax

#r(uid field ...)

may make more sense for records.  (As Scheme has Records and not
Structs, I am using an R, not an S, here.)

The latter syntax has the advantage that it does not rely on a
difference between parentheses and brackets (which are, otherwise,
equivalent, at least in R6RS).

Thoughts? Comments?
