Description: Common Lisp library that creates namespaces for named readtables
 Named-Readtables is a library that provides a namespace for readtables akin to
 the already-existing namespace of packages in Common Lisp. In particular:
 .
  - you can associate readtables with names, and retrieve readtables by names;
 .
  - you can associate source files with readtable names, and be sure that the
    right readtable is active when compiling/loading the file;
 .
  - similarly, your development environment now has a chance to automatically
    determine what readtable should be active while processing source forms on
    interactive commands. (E.g. think of `C-c C-c` in Slime (yet to be done))
 .
 It follows that Named-Readtables is a facility for using readtables in
 a localized way.
 .
 Additionally, it also attempts to become a facility for using
 readtables in a modular way. In particular:
 .
  - it provides a macro to specify the content of a readtable at a glance;
 .
  - it makes it possible to use multiple inheritance between readtables.
