OK. C is ugly and fragile, B is just fragile, A requires changes in both NAMED-READTABLES and SLIME/SWANK. Perhaps, you have better ideas?
D: don't create reader macros that need A, B, or C. That's what I do.
E: invent some magic comment or re-use Emacs's syntax for file variables e.g. ;; -*- readtable: ... -*- and recognize it in swank/source-path-parser.lisp. Or search directly for lines matching "^(named-readtables:in-readtable .*)"
F: get rid of swank/source-path-parser.lisp entirely and tell the SBCL maintainers that they should represent source locations as a file:line:column triple instead of source paths.
