I would think that "@lib/scrape.l" is not so much for parsing general
websites. It is tailored for communication with - and controlling of -
interactive PicoLisp GUI applications, and thus rather overkill.
You can directly access the contents of a site with 'client', 'from' and
'till'.
For example, this prints every link ('href' anchor):
(client "picolisp.com" 80 "wiki/?home"
(while (from "<a href=\"")
(msg (till "<" T)) ) )
Instead of the final 'msg', you could to further processing of the data,
and/or omit the 'T' in the 'till' call to get lists of characters
instead of strings.
