Vl-read-file

Read an entire file into a list of extended characters.

Signature
(vl-read-file filename &key (state 'state)) 
  → 
(mv okp result state)
Arguments
filename — The file to read.
    Guard (stringp filename).
Returns
okp — Type (booleanp okp).
result — On success, the entire contents of filename as a list of extended-characters.
    Type (vl-echarlist-p result), given the guard.
state — Type (state-p1 state), given (force (state-p1 state)).

We read the file with read-byte$ instead of read-char$, because this seems perhaps to be more reliable. In particular, even if the Lisp system wants to use Unicode or some other encoding for character streams, read-byte$ should always safely return octets.
