Is using `get-output-string' really "reading" from the port? As Ray Dillinger pointed out, there is a more general mismatch between the APIs of file ports and string ports, and as Michael Montague pointed out, this seems to lead to usages of `get-output-string' on closed string ports to be desirable. Therefore I would see `get-output-string' as a special-case and not expect it to conform to typical expectations on a port API.
