The R6RS has a grammar description of the datum syntax for numbers which includes the @ and normal complex forms. I don't know if any of this has been used in the current report, but previous standards have provided information on it. The TSPL also contains a more general description, but my understanding was that this syntax was purposefully fairly vague. Aaron W.
