Note that there are a couple of other #! constructs being considered for scheme 7, for example to control case folding. It seems more or less sensible. Perhaps we should read these as directives, and not as datums at all. There is also the possibility of introducing a reader option for this behavior. Andy -- http://wingolog.org/
