Function requests: read & parse

[mwgkgk]

Currently there is no way to parse a string into a quoted expression without interpreting it. eval parses and interprets a string, and load parses and interprets a file.

Scheme-like read would parse a file into a quoted expression without interpreting it. A parse function would parse a string into a quoted expression without interpreting it. int and float already do that for ints and floats, so this would behave similarly but for quotes.

Mmmm ok, I see your point. OK, they make sense and they will be a useful addition to the lang module. Thanks for the suggestion!
