 Read a string from standard input.  The trailing newline is stripped.
 
 The prompt string, if given, is printed to standard output without a
 trailing newline before reading input.
+The defaults for infile, outfile, and errfile if they not provided are equivalent
+to sys.stdin, sys.stdout, and sys.stderr respectively.
 
 If the user hits EOF (*nix: Ctrl-D, Windows: Ctrl-Z+Return), raise EOFError.
 On *nix systems, readline is used if available.
