# read-byte: one higher-level abstraction atop 'read'.
#
# There are many situations where 'read' is a lot to manage, and we need
# to abstract some details away. One of them is when we want to read a file
# character by character. In this situation we follow C's FILE data structure,
# which manages the underlying file descriptor together with the buffer it
# reads into. We call our version 'buffered-file'. Should be useful with other
# primitives as well, in later layers.
== data
# The buffered file for standard input. Also illustrates the layout for
# buffered-file.
Stdin:
# file descriptor or (address stream)
00 00 00 00 # 0 = standard input

# TODO: 8 bytes is too small. We'll need to grow the buffer for efficiency. But
