Erick,

About quasi-quote splicing - the standard prohibits a dotted list as
the argument to something like

STk> `(a b ,_at_'(c . d))
 => (a b c . d)

probably because of cases like this

STk> `(a b ,_at_'(c . d) e)
 => (a b c e)

However, the behavior in the first example is used in STklos to
create the list of formals for a method. I just thought you might
be interested in this.
