@vnikolov The 1974 edition of the Interlisp Reference Manual introduces this notation for circular structures:

Thank you!
I found it in section 21.7.
[Of the Interlisp Reference Manual, 1974.]
The notation there is with asterisks.
Besides "circular", their terminology uses "reentrant", rather than "shared".
I find the speed at which such things historically evolved interesting.
