[It looks like something fishy happened with your mailer...] No, we don't lose anything by having a mechanism for per-file readers rather than per-module readers. In fact, the latter can be emulated on top of the former. In fact, `set-current-reader' allows for better than per-file reader: you can switch back and forth readers from within a file that is being loaded. BTW, for SQL requests, you'd certainly better use `read-hash-extend' for instance. I see custom readers as a way to choose among various syntax variants for the *Scheme* language (or close relatives).
