[racket] Remapping default character behavior in make-readtable
The `read/recursive' and `read-syntax/recursive' functions accept a
readtable to use for the immediate read action, while nested reads use
the `current-readtable' parameter. That's intended as a general
chaining mechanism. Can you get the behavior you want by using those
functions?
