Character names don't work

[GoogleCodeExporter]

How to trigger the problem?

#\space

What is the expected output?

32

What do you see instead?

What is 'pace'? 
115

R7RS requires the names alarm, backspace, delete, escape, newline, null, 
return, space, and tab to work.

Thanks for the list. These were missing mainly because I didn't know which ones 
to add while adding the char syntax.

$ bin/vm fasl/bootp.fasl -e '(list #\alarm #\backspace #\delete #\escape 
#\newline #\null #\return #\space #\tab #\*)'
(7 8 127 27 10 0 13 32 9 42)

I just recalled the issue of #\spacer being parsed successfully to 32 and r 
instead of an error affects this one, so not marking as fixed yet though. The 
same issue affects many other things currently, like concatenated numbers and 
symbols.

Will track overly permissive parsing issues separately.
