Why <c 3 5> instead of <c e g>?

I think I really like this.  It allows a transparent definition of what is
meant by a chord that is really easy to override.

But we'll need to be sure it handles things like

c\chord #'(1 3- 5-)

And inversions could be handled, too.

c\chord #'(3 5 1)

or

c\chord #'(5 1 3)


We could even do bass notes

c\chord #'(4 1 3 5)

Chord structures could then be referenced easily (e.g. for adding to
exceptions) with the scheme list #'(4 1 3- 5-) instead of with notes, which
can cause some confusion.

Thanks,

Carl
