more module system wishlist blathering

[Michael Livshin <mlivshin at bigfoot dot com>]

while thinking again about the {generic function}/{module system}
tension discussed here recently, I suddenly started to think about
other things which might benefit from special treatment by the module
system.

as of this minute, I can think of two such things, and there may be
more.

* readtable extensions.  so a module can extend the readtable to grok, 
  for example, things that look like '#,(<stuff>)', etc., and the
  module system will combine such extensions at link time.

* [ redundant item ] generics.

I guess we really should think of a general MOP-styled interface to
such things...

Let's start preparing for the future.  Now's a good time, since it's
already here.
