 Replying to [comment:1 zbigniew]:
 > I mean, I know this is not guaranteed by R5RS and I should maybe store
 this data as strings instead of symbols, but it seems that (string->symbol
 "#x") should generate |#x| not throw an error in Chicken to be consistent.

 (`string->symbol` doesn't throw an error, it's the reader that complains)

 It would probably be better to handle this, yes.
