  "Define a new named readtable, whose name is given by the symbol `name'.

one.

The readtable can be populated using the following `options':

  (:MERGE `readtable-designators'+)

Tobias C. Rittweiler committed
      Merge the readtables designated into the new readtable being defined
      as per MERGE-READTABLES-INTO.

      If no :MERGE clause is given, an empty readtable is used. See
      MAKE-READTABLE.

  (:FUZE `readtable-designators'+)

      Like :MERGE except:

      Error conditions of type READER-MACRO-CONFLICT that are signaled
      during the merge operation will be silently _continued_. It follows
      that reader macros in earlier entries will be overwritten by later
      ones.

  (:DISPATCH-MACRO-CHAR `macro-char' `sub-char' `function')
Tobias C. Rittweiler's avatar
Tobias C. Rittweiler committed
      Define a new sub character `sub-char' for the dispatching macro
      character `macro-char', per SET-DISPATCH-MACRO-CHARACTER. You
      probably have to define `macro-char' as a dispatching macro character
      by the following option first.

Tobias C. Rittweiler committed
      Define a new macro character in the readtable, per SET-MACRO-CHARACTER.
      If `function' is the keyword :DISPATCH, `macro-char' is made a
      dispatching macro character, per MAKE-DISPATCH-MACRO-CHARACTER.

Any number of option clauses may appear. The options are grouped by their

type, but in each group the order the options appeared textually is
preserved.  The following groups exist and are executed in the following

Notes:

  The readtable is defined at load-time. If you want to have it available
  at compilation time -- say to use its reader-macros in the same file as
  its definition -- you have to wrap the DEFREADTABLE form in an explicit
  EVAL-WHEN.

Tobias C. Rittweiler's avatar

  On redefinition, the target readtable is made empty first before it's
  refilled according to the clauses.

  NIL, :STANDARD, :COMMON-LISP, :MODERN, and :CURRENT are
  preregistered readtable names.
