I take it these tokens work like comments or whitespace, but with a
side-effect of changing the reader state?
What is the scope if the state change? The current invocation of read,
or the entire file? The latter would be nicer, and more likely to be
what people except. However, it means that the case-fold state would
have to be stored in the input-port, rather than the reader.
