I have not decided yet wether a builtin read is a good idea or not.
Meanwhile let me help you with this

    for( line in `` ($nl) { cat /some/file }){
        words = `{ echo $line }
    }

But I don't understand how your second solution works because there
must be something wrong with input redirection. My rc behaves like this:

	; while( echo outside ){ echo inside } > /dev/null
	outside
	outside
	..
