Description

I think, now that vectors are self-evaluating, numbers-syntax needs to be updated to accept them in its redefinition of ##compiler#constant? as well.

Patch attached.

Hopefully this ticket doesn't cause any bleeding hearts :)

Thank you for reporting this. I've decided to defer to the core's predicate when it's not a number. That way, it's always consistent with whatever version of CHICKEN you're running (ie, on 4.8.0 it won't accept unquoted vector literals but on 4.8.2 it will)

This will probably be released when numbers is updated for the other r7rs stuff.
