Because of the annotate-spacing, it would not apply here, but we had one
complaint already for input that looked somewhat like
\paper {
top-margin = 5\cm
#(set-paper-size "letter")
}
and "stopped working" once # stopped being prematurely evaluated in the
lexer, in this case before top-margin got assigned.
Sometimes two wrongs make a right when programming.
