Customize Emacs Lisp read syntax?

[Thorsten Jolitz]

Hi List, 

Emacs Lisp read syntax uses '#' in several places, e.g. when printing
circular lists or strings with attributes:

,-----------------------------------------------------------------------
| (org-data nil (headline (:title (#("A*B*/C/" 0 7 (:parent #1))) ...)))
`-----------------------------------------------------------------------

When trying to make Emacs Lisp talk to another Lisp that has '#'
(instead of ';') as comment character, this causes some headache.

Is it possible to customize this, or is it hardcoded into the syntax and
can only be changed by replacing the '#' char with something else on a
textual level?
