Perhaps I shouldn't change pp and instead use a different short name, but which one? It could be a special symbol, for example:

(define (square x) (& x result: (* x x)))

But special symbols are in short supply and best left for future extensions and user needs. That's why I like pp. It is easy to type and the meaning is clear.

Isn't this future extension? I haven't written that much code in gambit, but I use pp a lot, and kind of like it the way it is, so my suggestion is to find another name. But if you can't settle for a short good one then changing pp won't be the end of the world I guess.
