- File type INTERACTIVE
What difference does it make?
I suppose we can ignore the difference, since GPC does lazy input, anyway. So `type Interactive = Text;' might suffice.
The first input character would be lost this way, since the program would start with a `get' thinking it retrives the first char, but actually getting the second one.
Oh, it works like this? :-( In GPC, also no `Get' is performed after `Reset', but the buffer is validated when it's referenced. (Which combines the apparent advantage of `Interactive', that it doesn't try to read too early, with compliance to the standard I/O semantics.)
It's tricky enough to combine standard and BP semantics as we try to (there are still bugs). Adding such another kind is not really a nice prospect ...
