N-expressions are definitely ready for the SRFI process too.

If we're going to do both curly-infix and neoteric now, how about proposing 
both as a single SRFI?  Then we can use the module name "readable" too.  That 
would reduce everyone's work - 1 SRFI would cover two of the 3 parts.  I could 
tweak SRFI-Curly to do that.

Then we could introduce a separate SRFI for sweet-expressions, later after 
we've had more experience with them.  That second SRFI could add, to the module 
defined in the first SRFI, the items specific to sweet-expressions.  We could 
hint that sweet-expressions are expected later in the first one.

Both curly-infix and neoteric are ready, in the sense that we know what they 
do.  However, SRFIs require submission of an implementation.  We have one, 
though clean-ups and improvements are needed.  I know that the underlying 
reader, for example, doesn't quite meet spec (though it's close enough to read 
lots).  Also, comment-tag is clunky; I'm not entirely convinced it's 
*necessary*, even for sweet-expressions.  How ready does the implementation 
need to be for us to start the SRFI process?
