-  type safety errors reported by Peter Van Eynde July 25, 2000:
-       k: READ-BYTE is supposed to signal TYPE-ERROR when its argument is 
-          not a binary input stream, but instead cheerfully reads from
-          string-input streams, e.g. (MAKE-STRING-INPUT-STREAM "abc").
-  [ Bug was reported as "from character streams", but in 0.8.3.10 we
-  get correct behaviour from (WITH-OPEN-FILE (i "/dev/zero") (READ-BYTE i)) ]
