You are using Guile 1.4, the Reference Manual documents the behaviour
of current CVS Guile. The NEWS file for upcoming Guile 1.6 says:
** Module (ice-9 optargs) now uses keywords instead of `#&'.
Instead of #&optional, #&key, etc you should now use #:optional,
#:key, etc. Since #:optional is a keyword, you can write it as just
:optional when (read-set! keywords 'prefix) is active.
The old reader syntax `#&' is still supported, but deprecated. It
will be removed in the next release.
