Actually, that wouldn't be restrictive enough, because not every "single datum" 
can properly be part of an identifier. Moreover, that's probably the reason for 
the restriction against arguments like #'7 in the first place — to preclude 
uses like `(format-id stx "~a" #'numeric-datum)`, which would not produce a 
valid identifier.
