I could change "duck-streams/reader" to return a PushbackReader instead of a BufferedReader. Unfortunately, "readLine" is defined in BufferedReader but NOT in PushbackReader. We need "readLine" for "clojure.core/line-seq". So we can't have it both ways. Blame Java's over-engineered I/O. Another alternative is to provide a "duck-streams/read*" to wrap "clojure.core/read" and handle the type conversions. -Stuart Sierra --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
