BTW, CLHS contains exactly this example of modifying the readtable with
EVAL-WHEN. Their example has all three of :load- :compile- :evaluate -- I'm
unsure why, because in today's implementations, it seems like less situations
should be required [*]. Maybe they wanted to play safe?
[*] Seemingly, it's only during READ-time for either loading (interpreted?) or
compiling that one needs to set the read-table. There should be no need to
generate code for this in the binary fasl: it's all gone then, one would think.
