I'd say that "tagged literal" is the preferred term for expressions like #inst 
"2012".  The term "reader literal" might perhaps refer to any literal (number, 
string, etc.) that doesn't need any further evaluation, although I think people 
use it loosely to mean the same thing as "tagged literal".

A data-reader would be the function assigned to read the tagged literal.  See 
*data-readers* and default-data-readers.
