Inconsistent behavior with read provided in default user environment #39

Reported by RT Happe quite a while ago

The user environment of scsh 0.7 distinguishes symbols with different capitalisation, e.g. 'gg, 'Gg, and 'GG, but on the other hand provides the standard READ proc that translates the case of symbolic data. That seems somewhat incongruous to me.

Welcome to scsh 0.7
Type ,? for help.
(eq? 'Gg 'gg)
#f
(run (cat "x.scm"))
(Gg)
0
(with-input-from-file "x.scm" read)
(gg)
,in scsh-reader (with-input-from-file "x.scm" scsh-read)
(Gg)

I would prefer READ (in the user environment) to act like the scsh reader rather than the standard Scheme one (as in scsh 0.6, I believe).

For comparison with scheme48:
