Comment(by zbigniew):

 If I understand you correctly, the primary problem cannot be fixed without
 fixing #322, that is:

 {{{
 (with-input-from-string
   (with-output-to-string
    (lambda () (write (string->symbol "#:"))))
   read)
 }}}
 currently results in {{{#:}}} but should result in {{{|#:|}}}.

 If so, what change did you make other than having #: result in a reader
 error? Your reply indicates an escaping change was made, but I don't see
 any difference there.
