I don't think this will be sufficient by itself, because 'read-R' will
not yet be bound at compile time.  You also need to define 'read-R'
within the 'eval-when', and everything else that's needed to run
'read-R'.

Alternatively, you could refrain from using the #\R syntax within the
same file where it is defined.
