23.2.14 *read-default-float-format* | Variable
  Value Type: one of the atomic type specifiers short-float, single-float, double-float, or long-float, or else some other type specifier defined by the implementation to be acceptable. Initial Value: The symbol single-float. Description: Controls the floating-point format that is to be used when reading a floating-point number that has no exponent marker or that has `e` or `E` for an exponent marker. Other exponent markers explicitly prescribe the floating-point format to be used. The printer uses *read-default-float-format* to guide the choice of exponent markers when printing floating-point numbers. Examples:
       (let ((*read-default-float-format* 'double-float))
         (read-from-string "(1.0 1.0e0 1.0s0 1.0f0 1.0d0 1.0L0)"))
       (1.0   1.0   1.0   1.0 1.0   1.0)   ;Implementation has float format F.
       (1.0   1.0   1.0s0 1.0 1.0   1.0)   ;Implementation has float formats S and F.
       (1.0d0 1.0d0 1.0   1.0 1.0d0 1.0d0) ;Implementation has float formats F and D.
       (1.0d0 1.0d0 1.0s0 1.0 1.0d0 1.0d0) ;Implementation has float formats S, F, D.
       (1.0d0 1.0d0 1.0   1.0 1.0d0 1.0L0) ;Implementation has float formats F, D, L.
       (1.0d0 1.0d0 1.0s0 1.0 1.0d0 1.0L0) ;Implementation has formats S, F, D, L.
Allegro CL Implementation Details: None.
