This is arguably NOT a Guile-specific issue, but rather a general issue.
Clojure uses its array syntax for parts of its syntax, for example.
The ## seems OK, but how about just plain # ?
So like (using only (read) and not (eval (read))):
' a b
=> (quote (a b))
'(a b)
=> (quote (a b))
# a b
=> #(a b)
#(a b)
=> #(a b)
