OK. This symbol is already used in a wrong place :)

You can still use `:`. The colon is used even to refer to some 
Lisp macros, for example:

(loop :for key :in keys
     :collect (cons key 0))

Still, as an option, you can use the `'` . This symbol is also 
used in Lisp, in some places, for example:

(key-weight 'sweet)

Or apostrophes, too, somewhere involved in the D?
