+/* Devilishly complex routine.
+ *
+ * Has to deal with EOF and EPIPE on input,
+ * with line wrapping, with last line not ending in '\n'
+ * (possibly not ending YET!), with backspace and tabs.
+ *
+ * Variables used:
+ * flines[] - array of lines already read. Linewrap may cause
+ * one source file line to occupy several flines[n].
+ * flines[max_fline] - last line, possibly incomplete.
+ * terminated - 1 if flines[max_fline] is 'terminated'
+ * (if there was '\n' [which isn't stored itself, we just remember
+ * that it was seen])
+ * max_lineno - last line's number, this one doesn't increment
+ * on line wrap, only on "real" new lines.
+ * readbuf[0..readeof-1] - small preliminary buffer.
+ * readbuf[readpos] - next character to add to current line.
+ * linepos - screen line position of next char to be read
+ * (takes into account tabs and backspaces)
+ * eof_error - < 0 error, == 0 EOF, > 0 not EOF/error
