You need to use PS:@. I think most folks would
create their own package and :USE parenscript:

(defpackage #:your-package
  (:use #:common-lisp #:parenscript)

... using un-interned keywords or strings to 
your taste.

I wonder if you could come up with an implementation
of DOT that does what you want unambiguously... I'd
think this hasn't come up before because most folks 
like to stick with prefix notation in PS (aside from 
the old symbol mangling with '.')
