May I point out that this last one is now a non-argument. "@" was
already freed and can be used in symbols and identifiers.

(define @ make-polar)  (define e@pi/2 (@ (exp 1) (/ (acos -1) 2)))
e@pi/2         ==> 1.66441259930543e-16+2.71828182845905i
(angle e@pi/2) ==> 1.5707963267949

Tested with chibi. `(, @) requires the space.
