(define (make-buffered-input-port reader)
  "Construct a line-buffered input port from the specified @var{reader}.
@var{reader} should be a procedure of one argument that somehow reads
a chunk of input and returns it as a string.

The port created by @code{make-buffered-input-port} does @emph{not}
interpolate any additional characters between the strings returned by
@var{reader}.

@var{reader} should take a boolean @var{continuation?} argument.
@var{continuation?} indicates whether @var{reader} is being called to
start a logically new read operation (in which case
@var{continuation?} is @code{#f}) or to continue a read operation for
which some input has already been read (in which case
@var{continuation?} is @code{#t}).  Some @var{reader} implementations
use the @var{continuation?} argument to determine what prompt to
display to the user.

The new/continuation distinction is largely an application-level
concept: @code{set-buffered-input-continuation?!} allows an
application to specify when a read operation is considered to be new.
But note that if there is non-whitespace data already buffered in the
port when a new read operation starts, this data will be read before
the first call to @var{reader}, and so @var{reader} will be called
with @var{continuation?} set to @code{#t}."
