Subject: 24.5; way to let Elisp reader ignore unreadable #(...) constructs
Date: Mon, 21 Nov 2016 13:47:45 -0800 (PST)

Enhancement request:

Provide a Boolean variable or a wrapper macro that has the effect of not
raising an error but just skipping over any unreadable #(...) construct.

(I really wish this were available for older Emacs versions.  Those are
the ones that barf on #(...) constructs that are supported in later
versions.
