@defvar standard-input
This variable holds the default input stream---the stream that
@code{read} uses when the @var{stream} argument is @code{nil}.
The default is @code{t}, meaning use the minibuffer.
@end defvar

@node Output Streams
@section Output Streams
@cindex stream (for printing)

  These variables are used for detecting and reporting circular
and shared structure:

@defvar print-circle
If non-@code{nil}, this variable enables detection of circular
and shared structure in printing.
@end defvar

@defvar print-gensym
If non-@code{nil}, this variable enables detection of uninterned symbols
(@pxref{Creating Symbols}) in printing.  When this is enabled,
