At least SBCL does not seem to worry too much about #< I think it does not
treat the specs so strictly. Is there any important thing that is broken by
this reader macro other than not signaling a reader error? Maybe we could
enable and disable this syntax locally per file.

Personally I don't like the #T< because it's too complicated to type in.
Maybe ##< (if it is possible at all?)

The other suggestion would be a big win if it is possible, but I tried and
could not figure out how to do it reading the specs.
