io__read seems to be very much more complicated than "read" predicate 
in prolog. What I get on

	reat(T),print(T)

is an rather long term() structure nt the term I thyped in before.


In Prolog I just can replace

	T=[(1,2,3),(3,4,5)],
	process(T)

by

	read(T),
	process(T)

if the string "[(1,2,3),(3,4,5)]" comes from stdin.

Is there really no such simple thing in Mercury?
