I hadn't had time to look at it yet, but I remember the issue.

At first glance I was affraid that the InPort might be adding logic
to the stream and carrying some state in readState.

I understand that it could be set on a props table for the object,
but what I'm not sure about is why readState can't be a member of
LispReader?
