I've done some fiddling on the Common Lisp side. The Common Lisp file "curly-infix.cl" now contains more than just curly-infix; it now implements neoteric-expressions. So it really needs renaming.
I suggest calling it "readable.cl", to make it more similar to the Scheme system. I'm not sure if the filename extension should be ".lisp" or ".cl". The ".lisp" extension is silly (there are other lisps!), and is 4 characters (which isn't as portable, e.g., on CDs, though that's less a problem than it used to be). Common Lisp doesn't let you rename basic functions like read, and its readtable really isn't flexible enough to handle stuff beyond curly-infix (though curly-infix was easy). So I've worked out a trick. (enable-neoteric) re-implements the REPL but using neoteric-read instead of read, and when you leave, it exits the entire Lisp system. It's not a perfect simulation, but it's convincing enough. I plan to auto-enable curly-infix on load, though; there's little to do otherwise, and it gives users a reason to use it right away. In the long term, it'd be good if it was all set up to load via Quicklisp (which loads from the Internet) and the build/packaging system asdf. According to: http://xach.livejournal.com/278047.html the asdf system auto-loads from "~/.local/share/common-lisp/source/" - and I suspect it also loads from PREFIX/share/common-lisp/source too, so if "make install" put the Common Lisp source file there, it might "just work" for Common Lisp users.
