Input specs

[Ian MacDonald]

alright, this is confusing me a bit..

we're supposed to terminate on ^D.. i get that.
but will there always be a \n before the ^D?

if not, do we throw out the characters on that line, or do we still deal
with them?

it says it's safe to assume that the program doesn't see input until a \n,
so i'm tempted to believe we just ignore characters on the same line as a
^D..

If you're typing at the keyboard, there has to be a '\n' since
Ctrl-D has to be the first character on its own line; however,
if you're redirecting input from a file, it shouldn't matter,
though many editors do force a '\n' on the last line.

Either way, all characters should be dealt with.
