'
     COPYREADTABLE is "the only function that creates a readtable"'
(IRM p14.24).  If I''m in the business of creating readtables for '
non-lisp work, I''m forced to copy a readtable, smash it to blankness,'
then set it to what I want.  Suppose the only way to create a bitmap'
was to copy a bitmap etc.  I''d like a function CREATEREADTABLE that'
returns a completely blank readtable.  This would also allow'
COPYREADTABLE to be implemented using CREATEREADTABLE and function'
RESETREADTABLE.  CREATETERMTABLE is missing too.'
