Editor font streams lose on #'s in code.



In Symbolics 3670 ZWEI in Release 6.0, IP-TCP 29.0, AISite 9.4,
Experimental Meta Representation Langauge 4.11,
microcode TMC5-IO4-MIC 319, FEP 22, on Lisp Machine Duane Allman:

(describe 1#'CAR0)

The preceding editor text (if you don't have fonts, the #'CAR is in a
bold font (e.g. prefixed by 1 and followed by 0)) reads in from an
editor stream hacking fonts as:
  (DESCRIBE 1# 'CAR0)

My suspicion is that the finite state machine in ZWEI:INTERVAL-WITH-FONTS-STREAM
:TYI message doesn't have an appropriate bit of state telling it that
it's already reading a font number (as opposed to a #-prefixed diagram
specification).
