It goes on to say that ``#\space'' is an alias for ``#\sp''.
Please fix the doc to reflect exactly what is acceptable.
Thank you! - Bruce

I fixed Guile instead to also accept #\sp. OK?

"libguile" or "guile (the program)"? My recommendation is for
all of the documented aliases: either document correctly, or
implement them correctly :-). As for me and my program, I've
coded in ``#\space'' now anyway.
Thank you!

Code and docs should now be in sync.
