I checked in a fix for this.  What I did was made the flags that
control whether initial and/or final colon identifier is a Keyword
into properties of the read-table (the ReadTable class) rather
than the LispReader.  This seems cleaner and fixes the problem
since read already looks for the "current" read-table.

Thanks for the report.
