Okay, I've pushed that change, and it now reports more specifically what the problem is.
That means that x'y is no longer legal... and it will *immediately* identify that as an error
(and report the failing character, ' in this case).

This was never specified in SRFI-110 (or Scheme), so it's not a spec change...
it's just a way to more strict in a standards-compliant way.
