Well if you're going to be that way about it, let's make it <null-string> and
#!please-make-the-person-who-takes-over-my-program-ten-years-from-now-have-to-
try-to-figure-out-which-of-foo-Foo-and-FOO-is-which.

Seriously, I think that this gratuitous old-code-breaking change in R6 was a
big reason for the hostility with which R6 was met.  I think it should be a
principle that any program that ran in R5 Scheme should run, unmodified, in
R7 Scheme.
