New description:

 {{{read-file}}} from C4 has been renamed to {{{read-all}}} in C5, but we
 have {{{read-all}}} in C4 as well, and their signatures are compatible,
 which means that the compiler won't be able to spot bugs in code being
 ported from C4 to C5.

 It's a similar issue as {{{bit-set?}}}'s.

 Here's how other implementations name such a procedure:

 * Gambit: {{{read-all}}}
 * Gauche: {{{port->sexp-list}}} (the documentation mentions "The API is
 taken from scsh and STk")
