The #x syntax is used by the reader to interpret the text that
follows. By the time your code is running the reader has done its job.
Thus you cannot might code values and reader syntax. At run time you
can convert a string to number using string->number. To do the
conversion in base 16 you call it thus: (string->number string 16)

You are missing string->list here.  It should be (list->string (first
(string->list each))), following the other examples above. This is
probably a bad design.
