I should clarify that it’s definitely a weird corner case, but not
something I’m worried about.

As I mentioned on Mastodon, Guile’s ‘read’ has always worked like that I
suppose; when he rewrite ‘read’ in Scheme, Andy took care to preserve
the exact same behavior, even for weird cases like this one.

We could remove support for it as it doesn’t bring anything, but I don’t
see any pressure to do so.
