Well, it kind of needs those for things like:
| 
| #!/usr/local/bin/guile
| -e ...
| !#
| 
| (my-guile-code 'here)
| 
| 

I got the impression '#|' was an _additional_ syntax.

#! this is a multiline comment
!#

(display "Ok\n")

(define blub #! Do we really want
 such comments?
 !#
 "honk")

 (display (string-append blub "\n"))


still works. No comments ;-)
