I posted about this on slime-devel a while ago, aboutgiving a specified restart for packages that look like sb!foo -- I don't remember anything coming of that, though.
Have you a reference to this post? I haven't seen it.
Allegro as something called "named readtables" and their ELI recognizes -*- readtable: <name> -*- at the beginning of files; expressions originating form such files are read in the specified readtable. Such a feature could be useful for people who like to use strange syntax.
Another, perhaps more convenient, possibility would be to associate special readtables with certain packages; before reading, we would check if the package has such a readtable and use it instead of the current readtable.
