I think number? should not signal an error -- it should
return either #t or #f:
guile> (number? '1e310)
ERROR: In procedure string->number:
ERROR: Value out of range: 310
ABORT: (out-of-range)
guile> ERROR: In procedure scm_read_expression:
ERROR: standard input:1:17: unexpected ")"
ABORT: (read-error)
Also, the error message should mention that the value
in question is an exponent (this can be non-obvious in actual
code).
