The only reason I'm not 100% thrilled by abbreviating it as

That (quasisymmetry) was one of the things I liked about it :-)
(person-age p)
(person/age p 25)
It started growing on me, once I decided that we could force people to
pronounce "person/age" aloud and in their heads as "person with age", so
that they wouldn't forget or get confused.
And it's arguably also consistent with how I tend to use "/" in
procedure names.
After a cooling-off period, I'm probably going to do names this way in
my new library.
