The Reader and lower-case characters

[David Singer <DSinger@SRI-KL>]

Forgive me if I have missed something, or if this has been aired before ...

How does one persuade the reader not to uppercase lowercase characters in
symbols.  The reader description, page 337 steps 7 and 8, does not make
the uppercasing optional, and there doesn't seem to be an easy way to
change that.  (I'm translating a lisp-like language which differentiates
case).  Do I really have to build my own reader, or have I missed an easy
way out?

    Thanks
