Drop the annoying need for - for standard input.
* match.c (open_data_source): If there is nothing
in the files array and data is t (indicating a request
to open a data source), then use standard input.
Subject to the compatibility option.
* Makefile (txr-manpage.html): Drop use of
the txr - argument in rule recipe.
* txr.1: Document that - isn't necessary.
Added to compatibility notes.
