  - Description:
 - 
A readtable maps characters into syntax types for 
the Lisp reader; see Chapter 2 Syntax.
A readtable also 
     contains associations between macro characters 
		               and their reader macro functions,
 and records information about the case conversion rules 
     to be used by the Lisp reader when parsing symbols.
Each simple character must be representable in the readtable.
It is implementation-defined whether non-simple characters
can have syntax descriptions in the readtable.
