If you don't have this, you end up with a bunch of read table syntaxes for the same thing. These usually don't play nicely together. See Common Lisp libraries (since CL doesn't provide this syntax in the standard) for all the subtly incompatible hash table read syntaxes and printer implementations you can stomach.
