Documentation error in STRING-OUTPUT-PORT-OUTPUT. Reported 12/19 by Michel.Schinz@studi.epfl.ch character-gobbling in (record-reader) caused by 'trim / 'peek default misunderstanding in delimited readers. Fixed 4/5/96 Reported by Victor Zandy reap-policy = early can still lose if you loop and fork. fork now reaps & retries if it loses and the policy is early reap. This is a kludge until I have sigchld handlers. Fixed 4/5/96; reported by Michael Becker. CHAR-SET-CONTAINS? now works for non-ASCII chars. SKIP-CHAR-SET now exported and documented. 4/5/96 Tod Olson complained about the I/O performance of the delimited reader routines (the supposedly fast ones, with C support). Reported 11/95, improved 4/96. Things generally improved all over by improving the efficiency of optional argument handling (but especially I/O, I think). I changed the meta-arg parser (C, Scheme, and doc) so that newline *always* terminates an arg -- empty or non-empty. KISS.
