which even the strictest LOOP-hater would have to agree
is clearer.

 
It's shorter in Gauche Scheme:
 
(use gauche.generator)
 
(generator->list (cut  read input))
 
 
Another way:
 
(use srfi-42) ; list-ec
 
(list-ec (:port word input) word)

Using the old-fashioned and primitive "do":

(do ((r () (cons x r))
     (x 0 (read)))
  ((eof-object? x) (cdr (reverse r))))
