Read a datum from a string. READ-FROM-STRING is like READ but it
takes its input from a string instead of a port. It returns a pair
containing the datum read in case of success. If there are any
trailing characters after the extracted datum, the trailing string
is placed in the cdr part of the returned pair. If the trailing
string is empty, the cdr part is set to (). When an empty string
or a string consisting of a comment exclusively is passed to
READ-FROM-STRING, it returns (). In case of an error, a string
explaining the cause of the error is returned.
When the 'CONVERT-UNREADABLE option with a non-#F value is passed
to READ-FROM-STRING, it will write the informal representation of
#<...> expressions to a string and include that string in the
resulting form in the place of the unreadable expression. By default
it will signal an error when an unreadable expression is found.
(read-from-string " (this \"is\" #(a) (list)) ; comment")
==> ((this "is" #(a) (list)))
(read-from-string " (this \"is\" #(a) (list)) more text")
==> ((this "is" #(a) (list)) . " more text")
(read-from-string ")")
==> "read-from-string: unexpected closing parenthesis"
