40 "A READTABLE is a data structure that maps characters into syntax
41 types for the Common Lisp expression reader."
42 ;; The CHARACTER-ATTRIBUTE-TABLE is a vector of CHAR-CODE-LIMIT
43 ;; integers for describing the character type. Conceptually, there
44 ;; are 4 distinct "primary" character attributes:
45 ;; +CHAR-ATTR-WHITESPACE+, +CHAR-ATTR-TERMINATING-MACRO+,
46 ;; +CHAR-ATTR-ESCAPE+, and +CHAR-ATTR-CONSTITUENT+. Non-terminating
47 ;; macros (such as the symbol reader) have the attribute
48 ;; +CHAR-ATTR-CONSTITUENT+.
50 ;; In order to make READ-TOKEN fast, all this information is stored
51 ;; in the character attribute table by having different varieties of
