Doesn't it sounds a bit asymmetric to have this only for input ports?
(I know that the C struct for output ports doesn't have a name, it
just doesn't sound right...)

BTW, I suppose someone would rely on these names, and "STDIN" might
lead to problems in this case...  Maybe it makes more sense to just
return #f in that case?
