I like this way too.

You could add a bit of backward compatibility:
(let ((obj (read port)))
  (symbol->keyword
   (if (symbol? obj)
     obj
     (string->symbol (object->string obj)))))

But I'm not sure this would be worth it, or if there may be corner
cases where it produces a different keyword.
