 - `(read-port)`, `(read-port port)` reads a port until hitting end-of-file (IDK
   why this isn't in R7RS!), in chunks of `read-port-chunk-size`
 - `(defined?  x)` returns whether the symbol `x` is bound to a variable
+- `(with-input-from-string str thunk)` calls `thunk` with `str` bound as the current-input-port.
+- `(with-output-to-string thunk)` calls `thunk` and returns a string of the output.
 - `(displayed x)`, `(->string x)` returns `x` as a string (via `display`)
 - `(written x)` returns `x` as a string (via `write`)
 - `(print x ...)` displays `x ...` followed by a newline
