[Nickle] Exception for reading past EOF?

[Keith Packard]

So, I'm thinking that reading past EOF on a file should generate an
exception instead of returning -1 from getc. This would mean that anyone
using -1 to detect EOF would suddenly start crashing instead, but it
would also mean that applications accidentally failing to check would
get terminated instead of looping.

We love semantic changes; is this a good one?
