Is it possible to input ,,loadfile()''? It should not be possible as 
stdin has reached EOF.

It would be nice if it was consistent. Now, the behaviour is 
inconsistent. (1) From your description of iOS: (a) I can input 
,,loadfile()()'' by ,,readline()'' (or ,,fgets()'', or sth, ...), but 
(b) I cannot input ,,print(" world!") because ,,stdin'' has reached EOF. 
OK - ,,lua'' is a referencing example, but in case of Win/Linux (2): (b) 
from every input I can read the 1st char only.

What if an other process/device/whatever will append data to a file 
which has reached EOF? Should not it be possible to read such a file? 
Should the file retain end-of-file status? I would be able to read a 
file expanded by something else without reopening it.
