That's a problem with languages that permit such ambiguities.  There 
simply is no ambiguity in Lisp expressions.  Also, Scheme has a single 
namespace for functions and variables, so you can't have a single 
identifier for both and resolve ambiguity by context.  It's a remarkably 
homogenous language.
