description
Currently vectors are the only type represented by a readable datum that are neither self-quoting nor meaningful Scheme expressions (i.e. symbols and lists). I propose switching to making them self-quoting as well.
Currently Racket, Gauche, MIT, Guile, Kawa, Chibi, SCM, STklos, Scheme 9, Scheme 7, UMB, VX, Oaklisp treat vectors as self-quoting; Gambit, Chicken, Bigloo, Scheme48/scsh, SISC, Ikarus, Larceny, Ypsilon, !IronScheme, Mosh, KSi, !SigScheme, Elk treat unquoted vectors as errors.

For lack of a second, the reopen failed; consequently, the change to make vectors self-quoting stands.

Felix Winkelmann points out that signaling an error,
rather than is an error, allows relying on the fact that
vectors must be quoted to use unquoted vectors for
storing meta-information. This is currently done in
the alexpander macro expander.
Thus the issue as voted on was misleading - self-quoting
is not the only semantics in use. We should consider
re-voting on this making it clear that the error option
requires an error to be signalled.
