: I actually thought the standard library already contained a module for
: "forgiving" paragraph reading, but can't find it now offhand.  In lieu
: of regexes for $/, such a module would probably be a nice thing to have.

Folks, remember that $/ is becoming obsolete in favor of switchable
input disciplines.  There's no reason you couldn't have an input
discipline that does the right thing, however you care to write it.
