Description

On `(import r7rs)`, something like `#f32(1.0 2.0)` doesn't work - the syntax instead ignores the first passed expression, and uses the //second// expression as the vector body. So you have to do something pretty weird like `#f32()(1.0 2.0)` for this to work.

Indeed, `read-srfi-4-vector` in the file `r7rs.scm` seems to have an extra call to `read`. The attached (completely trivial) patch should fix this.
