Maybe this is a good moment to bring this up: user defined % literals. A
way to define your own % literals or redefine existing ones. It is also
possible to have your own private redefinition of a literal thus avoiding
the problem of breaking other people's code. The proposal can be found
here:

and as of today also at RCRchive:
