6:04:31beachIt is probably not supposed to be used interactively.
6:05:22beachFunctions like COMPILE-FILE and LOAD bind *READTABLE*, so during compilation or loading, even if you alter the readtable, its old value is restored after compilation or loading.
6:06:32beachAnd, no, there is no mechanism to change the readtable according to the current package. There are two different variables: *PACKAGE* and *READTABLE*.
6:10:31nij-I see. Yeah after playing it more, I almost came to the conclusion that it's not meant to be used interactively.
6:11:32nij-So if I only want a specific readtable to be enabled for a file,
6:12:10nij-I just add (setq *readtable* my-readtable) in the beginning of the file, and (setq *readtable* *old-readtable*) in the end of the file?
6:12:25nij-In any case, I don't want other files to be affected.
6:13:02beachYou don't have to set it back. Like I said, COMPILE-FILE and LOAD do (LET ((*READTABLE* *READTABLE*)) ...) around the reading of your file.
6:13:21beachSo when the operation is complete, the value is automatically restored.
