Chez says "Exception: invalid syntax #&123". So that means "invalid expression syntax", not "invalid lexical syntax"? > I don't think your note belongs to this table in the Scheme registry. > For otherwise, you would need the same note for vectors, bytevectors, > etc. at least for R[56]RS implementations. Adding the same note for the vector types would be a helpful reminder IMHO. The R6 vs R7 vector quoting discrepancy is easily missed, for example. > Moreover, the table is about lexical syntax and #&123 is a valid > lexical syntax (in Chez Scheme mode): Just enter (read) at the REPL > and then enter #&123. I still find the notes helpful and would like to keep them. Can you supply a better worded sentence? Something like this perhaps: "A quote ' next to an implementation's name means the syntax is not self-evaluating in that implementation, and must be quoted to form a valid expression."
