the code i've sent in my previous mail should have no sideeffects
outside a compilation of a file. (*readtable* is rebound by compile,
the code sets it to a copy and enables the syntax in the copy which
goes into the garbage when the compile is done)

a few months ago i've sent a patch that converts it into a generic
method. it wasn't included, but  later i've found another way to
double-load metacopy into a different environment...
