Well, it looks to me like it would go into boot-9.scm, in
error-catching-loop/error-catching-repl.  To make things tidy,
error-catching-loop could take an extra procedure argument that gets
called in the case of an exception, and error-catching-repl could pass
such a procedure that consumes any available input in the case of
'read-error.  Or, if error-catching-loop isn't used anywhere else, the
consumption could go directly in there.  What do you think?
