NB am not disputing the facts:

Coincidentally, not long after this list-conversation, I was asked to
take a look at a command-line program(me) which was not accepting
arguments per spec.
First, I dived into the PSL to refresh my memory. There we find all
manner of 'goodies' for formatting the cmdLN I/P, selecting its type,
defaults, etc, etc.
Why do we have this at the cmdLN and yet not have something similar for
input?
Perhaps there is a small library available (that I've never gone looking
to find) which wraps input() and facilitates the input of int[egers],
for example?
What the OP asks is not really 'out there', we used FORMAT to type INPUT
data in FORTRAN, back in the ?good old days!
(don't over-excite me or I'll threaten you with my walking-stick...)
