    Uh, you did see about #* also didn't you? (also my request
    that someone may want to fix the #*400000000000* bug in
    MacLISP's SHARPM)
Yes.  Note that I didn't say anything about wanting my INPUT RADIX to vary
depending on what machine I was on!  In fact, this has always struck me as
singularly useless.  The text following it doesn't change when you port from
machine to machine, after all!

If the syntax were #*O or #*D or #*X and meant 'UNSIGNED', then I'd have no
objections.
