That's what I said, though perhaps my wording was not the best: * R5RS allows (string->number "#x10") to return #f. * Some Schemes actually do this but most do not. * R7RS won't allow this any more, because it would make s->n inconsistent with read. -- Evolutionary psychology is the theory John Cowan that men are nothing but horn-dogs, http://www.ccil.org/~cowan and that women only want them for their money.
