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?
