I don't know enough about readtables to help you here, but it seems that
`use-at-readtable' is only for the REPL:
http://docs.racket-lang.org/scribble/reader-internals.html?q=use-read-table#%28def._%28%28lib._scribble%2Freader..rkt%29._use-at-readtable%29%29

Someone ought to build the `at-any-exp' language Matthew was talking about
a few days ago, so that one can write
#lang at-any-exp $ racket
$~a{Yay, dollar-exp syntax!}
