The later form (with the #) was how it _used_ to be done, as a Scheme
requirement, but our awesome developers have been able to eliminate the
requirement of prefixing numbers using # in recent development versions.
Both, however, remain perfectly valid input methods for back-ward
compatibility. Other kinds of values will likely still need # to work
properly.
