This is great.

I personally have an image with Alexandria, Serapeum, Dexador, Bordeaux Threads, some JSON stuff, but it might be handy to have something others use as a similar target.

Probably stands a better chance of success than the over-pontificated CDR proposals, and CL21 which preceded it.

Curious if there’s a bunch of reader macros set up by default?

Only one is enabled in the terminal repl, but none when we use ciel as a regular Lisp library. We don't want to mess with the readtables by default.

(see below to enable the shell passthrough in your editor's REPL)

I did a quick search of the code, and only clesh[1] seems to be enabled by default for shelling out from the REPL.

It's enabled by default for the terminal repl, but not in the ciel-user package, that we would use on our editor's REPL. In that case we can enable it with

    CIEL-USER> (enable-shell-passthrough
    #<NAMED-READTABLE CLESH:SYNTAX {1003EE7F13}>
    CIEL-USER> ! ls
