	 (read-from-whole-string "(x)")          ; from thingatpt.el
	 => Lisp error: (error "Can't read whole string")

    It should return '(x)', not signal error.

This should fix it.  Does this make it work?

I think this is the right fix, because the optimization this turns off
should rarely have occasion to do anything useful.
