this is very common in the scheme community and will help ensure that
your code works even without special library wrapper/alpha renaming
software.

the  / convention usually means some kind of variant on the semantics
of the thing before the slash.

This is the convention that SLIB uses and also has a fairly wide acceptance.

bad bad bad. It's also hard to remember in the long run and a PITA to
have to go through an extra build step to rename everything in the
bloody module. This is one of the reasons I hate the PLT library
system (even though I applaud the capabilities). If God had wanted us
to rername everything she would have given us
lambda-abstractions....Oh wait a minute...
