A readtable is a data structure that maps characters into syntax
|
|
types for the Lisp expression parser.
|
|
In particular, a readtable indicates for
|
|
each character with syntax <i>macro character</i> what its macro
|
|
definition is. This is a mechanism by which the user may reprogram
|
|
the parser to a limited but useful extent.
|
|
See section <A HREF="node192.html#READTABLESECTION">22.1.5</A>.
