I took a quick last look and found something unexpected: <indexnum> --> <digit 10>+ | <radix R> <digit R>+ Why does <indexnum> allow a radix? When is such a thing useful? This is a problem for Gambit because it allows symbols to start with a "##" prefix. So for example ##o12# is a symbol, but SRFI-38 would treat this as if it were #10# . Is there any rationale for this? Marc
