[Chicken-users] csc doesn't like functions with :'s, csi doesn't care

[Damian M Gryski]

   The compiler and interpreter act differently on functions
   with trailing colons in their names.

   See the below transcript.

   Expected output: hello, world
   Actual output: Error: call of non-procedure: fn:with:colon:

--- 8< --- cut here --- 8< --- cut here --- 8< ---
      jolt:work$ cat colon.scm
      (define (fn:with:colon: msg) (display msg))
      (fn:with:colon: "hello, world\n")
      jolt:work$ csi -script colon.scm
      hello, world
      jolt:work$ csc colon.scm
      jolt:work$ ./colon
      Error: call of non-procedure: fn:with:colon:

      colon.scm: 2    ###fn:with:colon
--- 8< --- cut here --- 8< --- cut here --- 8< ---

   Removing the trailing colon from the function name works.
