RE: READE is confusing to me

Resulting indicators on I/O operations (Chain and Read for example) were
also inconsistent. Why change now?

  I think that the implementation of these BIFs makes them
inconsistent.  Even though there was considerable thought behind it, I
think it ended up being misguided.  I think that they s/b consistent for
ALL I/O opcodes.  This means that all CHAIN's and READx's should have
%Found and %EOF available.

  Does anyone else find the implementation confusing?
