Re: Meaning of <=> in the context of procedures

[Linus Björnstam]

It is a trick to allow using the symbol '<=> as an identifier instead of 
quoting it. Nothing special. Guile-json probably uses it somehow.

If it is used as auxiliary syntax in a macro, it is probably exported so guile 
can warn that it is being shadowed instead of (or rather: in addition to) 
producing bad error messages.
