{{{ Allegro, GCL, SBCL, and possibly other implementations support a syntax that looks like this:
foo::(bar 'baz 42)
A form like that is read as though you had written (foo::bar 'foo::baz 42). I use this syntax sometimes for Quicklisp operations that rely on ql-dist symbols, like installing all available Quicklisp projects: }}}
It would be nice to add this to the Bear.
