 reading-a-form-in-a-package>

   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.
