I see what you mean, I think:

For example:

#lang racket
(car '`x); -> quasiquote, which is quite obvious.

But:

(define quasiquote list)
(car '`x) ; -> quasiquote as well, which is not obvious.

Racket has become very far in hygienic macros.
Is is time to think about hygienic read-tables too?
I have no idea how to acccomplish that. Sorry.

Thanks, Jos Koot.

The problem is that the backquote character is an unhygienic reader macro.  
But it was intended to work that way as an abbreviation, so that's why it's
not a problem.
