Comment (by sjamaan):

 For reference, Chibi gives a better error: `ERROR on line 57 of file
 op.scm: invalid char following '#': #\space`

 Some other Schemes have shitty error messages too, but that shouldn't stop
 us from improving ours ;)

 erkin actually had `(# . foo)` in a quoted alist, not remembering that `#`
 is special syntax.
