Since Gauche doesn't support that prefix-less notation I presume there is a problem. Still, even with the prefixes it's useful IMHO. Hex and binary can be hard to read, and #d for a long decimal number might be worth it. Opinions? For what it is worth, it would be valid Common Lisp "potential number", so in Common Lisp it would not conflict with a symbol. https://www.cs.cmu.edu/Groups/AI/html/cltl/clm/node189.html -- --Per Bothner xxxxxx@bothner.com http://per.bothner.com/
