18:53:52sjl_(with-open-file (f "foo" :element-type 'base-char) (read-line f)) currently returns a simple-string. Is there any way to get it to return simple-base-string's instead?
18:54:09sjl_(CCL returns a simple-base-string for this)
18:58:33stassatsyou're not going to just leave the data as lines? so anything read with read-line will be garbage
18:59:18sjl_Some of the data will be left as lines
19:00:47sjl_Like, from the perspective of writing a library to handle FASTQs, I'd hope to provide something like (do-fastq (label sequence scores) stream ...)
19:00:57stassatscan't each base be encoded in four bits?
