[Larceny-users] Lexical errors' exceptions need &lexical

[Derick Eddington]

... according to R6RS get-datum.  R6RS get-datum also says they need
&i/o-read but I don't think that makes sense because lexical errors are
not I/O errors and vice versa.  Ikarus decided to not include &i/o-read,
and Aziz asked the editors about this and they said they agree including
&i/o-read is wrong and they made some other comments, which you can read
here:
