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.
