   For the people munging the code, note that for Allegro CL, you can
   write |Set| and it means exactly the same thing as Set. I would
   expect this to be the case for any other Lisp that has adopted the
   "CL Modern" mode of Allegro.

Richard, I believe this is also true for _any_ CL implementation
purporting to implement the ANS.  Regardless of readtable-case,
characters of a symbol name contained in vertical bar escapes or under a
single-character escape are guaranteed to receive no case conversion by
the reader.
