I was looking for an executive summary rather than more detail. :-)
In any case, your proposal generally makes sense to me. I have a question though: what should happen in the REPL? Following the spirit of your solution, it seems like we should have a new change-readtable operation. How should we represent the current readtable visually? Also, it seems like it might be useful to have some concept of default readtable for a given package: perhaps there's still a use for *readtable-alist* after all?
