Why do it right when a kludge will suffice! Come to think of it a lot
of things could be implemented by doing #.(<random function>) like
#.(or (status feature Multics) (read)) could replace #+Multics
There is this problem that both these guys return a value that is left
for read to return. (my thing should read "(progn (read) nil)" so as
to do the right thing.) This is really all completely losing.
