  Unfortunately: - that code doesn't provide printing for hash tables. Oops! - breaks tooling: - doesn't provide editing or syntax highlighting support. - confuses any tool that reads all of the files of a project using the Lisp reader. - it gratuitously introduces a vector syntax that is unnecessary since #(1 2 3) is perfectly fine and standard across more than one Lisp dialect. - hard-codes the #'equal equality - doesn't play with the newer ways of registering Lisp read syntaxes, like https://github.com/melisgl/named-readtables https://github.com/melisgl/named-readtables
