Thanks. I also like this solution better.
I would actually go one step further and change the behavior of
function 'reading' so that it behaves like 'reading-string' when
the 1st argument is a string. It would be natural to generalize
function 'reading' again, should than become necessary (e.g.,
you might want to read from byte storage).
