Re: [Bug-apl] ⎕INP ignores parts of its input (Re: she bang script arguments)

[Juergen Sauermann]

Hi Kacper,

it is intended that the end delimiter can be anywhere (and the rest of the shall be
ignore then. But something seems to be still wrong in ⎕INP. I have improved it a
little in SVN 738, but something may still be wrong.

I came up with this silly variant of APL-in-shell embedding:

But I think there's something wrong with ⎕INP, actually.
In the example above, true is ⍬ (sic) just before erasing.

I was surprised that delimiter doesn't have to be at the beginning of
the line.  I don't know if that's intentional that everything before
it on that line is ignored, but the whole input gets ignored when
there is only a single line of it before the line containing the
delimiter, and that's certainly wrong.
