LW7 feature for #\u+... characters?

LW6 only supports 16-bit Unicode character (e.g. #\u+2022). However, LW7 
supports the full range and will now not throw an error whenever I do 
#\u+02022 (notice the extra nibble of data).

Is there a *FEATURE* I can use to test against this so any new code I 
write is backwards compatible with < LW 7?

Thanks!

Jeff M.

You could write your own #\\ reader macro.
