This patch handles those numeric cases.  It incorporates and overrides
my earlier patch.  After this, there are no remaining buggy cases to
solve, AFAIK: any symbol, no matter how strange, should be able to be
written and re-read, resulting in the same symbol.

        * print.c (scm_print_symbol_name): Handle #{`foo}#, #{,foo}#,
        #{.}#, and all numeric strings specially.
