+;;; Commentary:
+;;;
+;;; This module contains Skribilo's front-end (aka. ``reader'') interface.
+;;; Skribilo's default reader is `(skribilo reader skribe)' which provides a
+;;; reader for the Skribe syntax.
+;;;
+;;; Code:
+
+(define-record-type <reader>
+  (%make-reader name version make)
+  reader?
+  (name      reader:name      reader:set-name!)    ;; a symbol
+  (version   reader:version   reader:set-version!) ;; a string
+  (make      reader:make      reader:set-make!))   ;; a one-argument proc
+                                                   ;; that returns a reader
+                                                   ;; proc
+
+(define-public reader:name
+  (getter-with-setter reader:name reader:set-name!))
+
+(define-public reader:version
+  (getter-with-setter reader:version reader:set-version!))
+
+(define-public reader:make
+  (getter-with-setter reader:make reader:set-make!))
+
+(define-macro (define-reader name version make-proc)
+  `(define reader-specification
+     (%make-reader (quote ,name) ,version ,make-proc)))
+
+(define-macro (define-public-reader name version make-proc)
+  `(define-reader ,name ,version ,make-proc))

+
+(define (lookup-reader name)
+  "Look for a reader named @var{name} (a symbol) in the @code{(skribilo
+readers)} module hierarchy.  If no such reader was found, an error is
+raised."
+  (let ((m (resolve-module `(skribilo reader ,name))))
+    (if (module-bound? m 'reader-specification)
+	(module-ref m 'reader-specification)

+(define (make-reader name)

+  (let* ((spec (lookup-reader name))
