I'd say that "tagged literal" is the preferred term for expressions like #inst "2012". The term "reader literal" might perhaps refer to any literal (number, string, etc.) that doesn't need any further evaluation, although I think people use it loosely to mean the same thing as "tagged literal".
A data-reader would be the function assigned to read the tagged literal. See *data-readers* and default-data-readers.
