Am I the only who finds it confusing that the read procedure
automatically writes a prompt?  E.g.

  #|kawa:1|# (read)
  #|kawa:2|# abc
  abc
  #|kawa:2|# 
  
Despite that the prompt in line two is confusing, the line number in the
third prompt seems wrong.  I would expect that read works basically like
read-line, which doesn't prompt:

  #|kawa:3|# (read-line)
  abc
  "abc"
  #|kawa:5|# 

Is there an easy way to disable the prompting in read?

Helmut
