Good point about the CL meaning. I'm not excited about the name "superlist", but I could be talked into it. Anybody have a suggestion for an alternative name for "restart lists", or some preference? > Historically, FF and VT were line terminators like LF, so I'd treat them > as blank lines.

That would mean that any FF/VT-only line would force the end of a t-expression, and would then be consumed before the next t-expression. Which is reasonable enough. Anyone else have a preference? --- David A.
