with-out-writer and with-in-reader do indeed seem to be missing. By hand,
this would be e.g.
(with-open [r (io/reader x)]
(binding [*in* r]
(read)))
But that seems like the kind of boiler-plate a macro or function should be
provided for...

The slurp in clojure 1.2 core
http://clojure.github.com/clojure/clojure.core-api.html#clojure.core/slurp
now properly supports encoding by passing :encoding. For example:
(slurp path :encoding "UTF-8")

I believe clojure.string (in Clojure 1.2.0) is what was meant.
