In those hills yonder in the lands of Common Lisp, it's usually considered good practice to blast the entire read table save for what you need when you deal with untrusted data. Barring that, a better option might be a more modular reader: read-number, read-symbol, etc.
Clojure doesn't have a user-programmable reader, so much of the readtable shenanigans we use in CL don't apply. But yes, specific readers would be neat.
