`read-syntax` is special, because its job is to convert the surface notation of a #lang into S-expressions. So whatever is happening in `read-syntax` is happening during compile time, even if we're using functions rather than macros. In general, the reader is the most idiosyncratic part of the #lang processing pipeline (though perhaps this stands to reason, as surface notations are likewise idiosyncratic)
