Hi Tobias,
The named-readtables test you sent me, does show an obvious bug in ABCL, but not the one you're trying to point me at: when loading your files on Windows, I'm getting an Index out of bounds error: the dispatch tables think our characters range from 0 - 255 in value whereas in practice that number is much higher.
I'm working on a fix right now (setting CHAR_MAX to a higher value) but I don't feel too comfortable with it: it'll make us consume much more memory on a number of things. However, what's a K of memory worth these days... ?
I haven't read through ABCL's reader sources, but the dispatch tables (as well as unicode macro characters) should be maintained lazily, probably in some sort of associative map.
-T.
