> 3. Space-efficient variants of read-line
>
> Two new functions, read-line-into and simple-stream-read-line provide
> space-efficient variants of read-line. They work by allowing the
> programmer to supply the target string (for read-line-into) or a
> buffer (for simple-stream-read-line) and thus avoid the creation of
> unnecessary new strings. See the doc pages for descriptions and here
> for a demonstration of their use of almost no space.
