I've modified this so that ext:read-vector works in this case.

However, this change also means that read-sequence no longer signals
errors if you, say, read characters into an (unsigned-byte 8)
simple-array.

Should we still signal such errors?  (We still signal such errors if
the array is not a specialized array.)
