unread-string character order

unread-string character order

[Kevin Ryde]

In the guile 1.6.3 on a recent i386 debian, I noticed unread-string
pushes back characters so the first of the string will be the next
returned by read-char.

I guess this is intentional, but it seems like the reverse of what I
might have expected.  I think a note on this in the manual to clarify
would be good.

Actually, I think I might have merely managed to confuse myself.
Still, never hurts to say exactly how things work.
