sexp oriented select

[Ondrej Zajicek]

Hello

I am thinking about something like s-expression oriented select - it accepts
list of ports (or file descriptors) and returns first arrived s-expression (or
ends because of timeout) and some identifier of port sexp is from.

Is there any clever way to implement this in guile (without reimplementing
'read')? My best idea is to use select, collect chars from ports, count
parenthesis for each port and when something sexp-like appears then read it
(from string created from collected chars) and unget rest of chars (or pass it
like some state between calls to this function).
