There's still #, @, and ` (and of course keywords like lambda and fn).
None of these are as mnemonic as \, but they leave \ as a purely
lexical escape character.

It's quite ironic that we are still limited, as Church was, in
which characters we can use for the modern equivalent of
"typographical reasons".
