[gambit-list] reading file into string / length of file

I want to read a file into a string. After I open it up, is there a way to
get the length of the file? (or even before I open it up?)

I see that we have read-substring and read-u8vector

Currently, the best solution appears to be ... do a read-u8vector on it, get
it's string length, then re-open the file and do a read-substring on it ...
surely there's something more elegant. :-)

Thanks!
