| Quick poll: Does anybody know of existing code that will break if an
| implementation READs \n and friends in strings like C does?

  quick poll: is anyone willing to bet real money that nothing will break
  if an implementation does this across the board?  :)

  *READTABLE* is bindable.  there's no need to poll anyone.
