And it's important to specify whether "p" in the former or the head item in the sequence in the latter remain valid after the next step to the next line. Though obviously easier to use, it annoys me when a line-by-line library function forces fresh allocation for every line. I'd like to see an option to reuse a buffer that holds the most-recently-read line, and stepping to the next line overwrites that buffer. The line offered is a read-only /view/ of the mutable buffer. "Saving" a line for future use hence requires an explicit copy -- something that's not likely idiomatic in Java or Clojure. -- Steven E.
