Hello,

According to the R5RS spec, I should be able to write a number like this:

.3###e-5

However, chicken rejects this with the numbers egg and determines
it is an unbound variable. What's up?  (I realize the mathematical
simplification of it, but that isn't the point, I think it should be
recognized by the lexer and it isn't).

Yeah, one of the many holes in the R5RS support. You could do me a favour
and write a trac ticket for this (http://trac.callcc.org).

But R5RS numbers syntax is somewhat overcomplicated, you must admit...


cheers,
felix
