I tried searching for this pattern in the PLT Source base
including all PLaneT packages:

     [0123456789]+#+

The only relevant hits were:

<http://ja.soegaard.net/planet/html/r6rs/r6rs/1/0/arithmetic/test-string2number.scm>
<http://ja.soegaard.net/planet/html/r6rs/r6rs/1/0/arithmetic/string2number.scm>

The others were from non-Scheme files.

In "test-string2number.scm" I see:

    (check (string->number "15##") ==> 1500.0)

shouldn't it check the interval [1500.0;1600.0[ ?
(I know the reference implementation returns 1500, but
it would be nice to be able to reuse the test suite.]
