As a general rule, I expect multi-line comments to be comments that just
disappear when compiled.
Oh, and this will likely make the implementation of comments more
complicated, but would it be possible to make these comments nested? It
has always bugged me, where multi-line comments are allowed,
I don't know why, but I've always been bothered by calling s-exprs ugly;
it's something that has bothered me ever since I've discovered
sweet-expressions. Although I don't yet have much experience in Lispy
programming, I find the syntax of s-exprs rather beautiful; it has a
certain simplicity
This is actually a major reason I'm interested in Sweet-Expressions,
myself. I'd like to use some form of Common Lisp as a shell, and it would
be kindof awkward to have to use parentheses for everything.

Can you propose some alternative names?
It was my understanding that modern-expressions was the name of the rule
that transformed the standard s-expr

into the sweet-expression form
