+
+SBCL supports extended package prefix syntax, which allows specifying
+an alternate package instead of @code{*package*} for the reader to use
+as the default package for interning symbols:
+
+@lisp
+<package-name>::<form-with-interning-into-package>
+@end lisp
+
+Example:
+
+@lisp
+  'foo::(bar quux zot) == '(foo::bar foo::quux foo::zot)
+@end lisp
+
+Doesn't alter @code{*package*}: if @code{foo::bar} would cause a
+read-time package lock violation, so does @code{foo::(bar)}.
