+ Guile-Reader is a simple framework for building readers for GNU Guile.
+ The idea is to make it easy to build procedures that extend Guile's read
+ procedure. Readers supporting various syntax variants can easily be
+ written, possibly by re-using existing "token readers" of a standard Scheme
+ readers. For example, it is used to implement Skribilo's R5RS-derived
+ document syntax.
+ Guile-Reader's approach is similar to Common Lisp's "read table", but
+ hopefully more powerful and flexible (for instance, one may instantiate as
+ many readers as needed).
