BTW the functionality of my 'readln a,b,c' differs from the above.
Separators can be anything reasonable. When eol is encountered, it will read
zeros. And errors are not handled: any non-numeric will yield zero.
People will disagree as to what is "correct behaviour" in that kind of
situation. If someone disagrees with Steve's function, s/he can write
a different one. If someone disagrees with your language primitive....
s/he can write a different language?
No, they use a function similar to Steve's. Or just tweak the code: read
an item as a string instead of a number. Then its validity can checked.
This sounds like another one of those arguments: there's no point in
having a simple feature A, because it doesn't do X, Y and Z.
So we won't have it. But do we instead have feature B that includes X, Y
and Z? No, of course not! No matter that 90% of the time, X, Y and Z are
never used...
