1. Is it possible to turn lines-counting on for _every_ input port in a
program (short of redefinition of 'open-input-file' and friends) ?
I believe that the overhead will be low, in other Schemes input ports are 
always opened in this mode...

2. Any ideas about file name?

Best regards, 
         Kirill.
