You spoke in terms of the rendering of @sc, about which I have no opinion.

But just to clarify, did you also mean that "car" and "cons" should not be
lowercase?

Yes, I know you did not say that. But that is what my bug report was about, and
I just want to be sure of what you're saying.

Let's try to separate the issue of how @sc should be rendered from how car and
cdr should be represented. Thx.
