Hi Ikuru,

I'm afraid that section of the site doesn't really clear it up for me. 
There's a difference between when # is found as the initial character of 
the next item to read and when it's in the middle or end (i.e., 
auto-gensyms).  (It's okay though; I'll reply further in my reply to Alex's 
email.)

Thanks!
steven
