FWIW, on cmucl, *readtable* is a copy of the standard readtable. The standard readtable isn't writable unless you go out of your way to access the magic standard readtable.
So, it's perfectly valid to modify *readtable*.
Or are you suggesting that *readtable* should be eq to the magic standard readtable?
The same holds for *print-pprint-dispatch*---it's a copy of the standard dispatch table, not eq to it.
