That's an interesting assertion.

Note that truly general purpose read functionality would work with
sockets and mapped files.

Note also that dyadic cut is general purpose, though maybe
special code would be nice, at some point.

Note also that interactive read line support ideally includes
line editting support, which maybe influnences the concept of
"general".

In the non-J world, read line support seems to be considered
utility (implemented in many different ways, many different
times) rather than application (implemented only once).
