Hmm. I think they advertise getReader. Doug pointed out that method. I
can poke at that.
I don't know for Readers versus InputStreams, but it looks like abcl
likes the latter.

So two things.

1) Something definitely wrong with initialization. If the first thing I do is (print *standard-input*) I get an unbound variable error.

2) Somebody's confused about something. If I start with eval (loop do (print (read-char))) I get printouts as if it's reading unicode escape sequences
