Hi Alan, Thank you for your answer!

That’s part of why it’s Guile specific: I cannot use the plain #, because that’s the prefix for symbols and illegal syntax for read. I don’t see a way to do this as simple reader addition. > 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) I’d like to do it that way, but from what I can tell, doing that would mean that I have to special-case all special syntax reading, while with the ## I can harness regular symbol reading in Guile. The # is the prefix for all kinds of special elements (i.e. #' #, #,@) and I’m not sure it’s a good idea to take the symbol itself for a given feature.
