read in string-snip%
Reads the snip's data from the given stream.
( -> void
send a-string-snip read len f)
len : exact non-negative integer
f : editor-stream-in% object
The len argument specifies the maximum length of the text to be
read. (When a text snip is written to a file, the very first field
is the length of the text contained in the snip.) This method is
usually invoked by the text snip class's
read method.
