(Paranoia.)

I see, however, "nocomments" isn't saved and restored as we enter
different levels of reading history, which could be a problem.  But I
don't think so --- you're just modifying around *parsing* a string, not
execution of the result, so there's no possibility of the effect being
passed on where it shouldn't be.

Is there?
