The variable MACRO-CHAR-TYPES controls which macro characters are returned: `:macro-char' All macro characters in READTABLE that are _not_ dispatch macro characters. `:dispatch-macro-char' All dispatch macro characters in READTABLE.
I'm not perfectly happy with these names. Especially the first one is somewhat misleading. But I don't think I'd be happy with :NON-DISPATCH-MACRO-CHAR either.
What about using :DISPATCH and :NON-DISPATCH? The absence of a -MACRO-CHAR(S) suffix is analogous to the absence of a -SYMBOL(S) suffix in symbol-types accepted by WITH-PACKAGE-ITERATOR.
