[parenscript-devel] How to call constructor?

[Vladimir Sedach]

Actually, foo-bar works perfectly fine with :invert so everything is
backward compatible. Parenscript doesn't know anything about
readtables, just when a symbol name is mixed-case.

The one case where this is ambiguous is something like Foo-bar, which
right now gets translated as fooBar.
