Square bracket reader sytax & SBCL Win32 & Slime: How to make them work together?

Hi,

I'm learning CLSQL (4.3.0) with SBCL 1.0.33.4 Win32 and
Slime (around 2009-12-03). I have troubles using square
brackets in Slime. Entering the following into Slime's
repl buffer:
  (clsql-sys:enable-sql-reader-syntax)
  (select [description] :from [asnFeatureType])
will drop me into the debugger:
  The variable [DESCRIPTION] is unbound.
  [Condition of type UNBOUND-VARIABLE]

  Restarts:
  0: [RETRY] Retry SLIME REPL evaluation request.
  1: [ABORT] Return to SLIME's top level.
  2: [ABORT] Abort
  3: [CLOSE-CONNECTION] Close SLIME connection
  4: [ABORT] Exit debugger, returning to top level.

The error message indicates SBCL doesn't recognize
the square bracket reader syntax. However, if I use SBCL
directly in an MSYS (or MINGW?) shell window, I can use
square brackets without any problem. I guess I'm probably
missing something simple. Could someone please tell me how
to make the square bracket reader syntax work with Slime?

Best wishes,

Jason
