To be correct: Also the parser functions 'any' and 'str' (and 'load' in
the parsing form), which call 'read' internally intern transient
symbols.
Now I noticed that pil32 and pil64 behave differently in that regard.
pil32 does an explicit check for _not_ being in parse mode. In
"src/io.c":
if (x = findHash(y, h = Transient + ihash(y)))
return x;
x = consStr(y);
if (Env.get == getStdin) // <-- This line
*h = cons(x,*h);
return x;
So "This line" is an incompatibility. I'll remove it from pil32.
