You may be right in the particulars.  In vague terms, what I want is 
loop { read_good_stuff(Stuff), process(Stuff) }

And if good_stuff is anything that's not delimiters, then read_string 
does the job.  You cite a case where you're interested in knowing something
of the delimiters, and I believe then a better variant of read_string can be
devised which still meets my use-case.

The current version of
http://www.cs.otago.ac.nz/staffpriv/ok/pllib.htm
has a section on string predicates.

I have not been able to figure out any way to use the
read_string predicates to do any of the string reading
I have uses for; use cases for those predicates would
be of interest to me.
