Almost tempted to allow 1,234.56 but not really.

For ZetaLisp syntax I defined a state variable
and advised five internal CCL reader functions,
when the readtable has my ZetaLisp colon reader.
In retrospect I wonder if there was a better way.

P.S.  Any thoughts on format ~:E for "Engineering Notation" output
where the exponent is always a power of 1000 or is this too awful?
No doubt ~/ENG/, ~/SI/, etc., are out there somewhere.
