Ash internal 'read' command and pipes

[Xabier Oneca -- xOneca]

Hello list!

I am new here, in the list.

I wonder if 'read' can read from pipes, because the following should
print 'testing' but instead 'got' remains undefined...

  $ echo testing | read got
  $ echo $got

But I tried with file redirections and it works (as expected):

  $ echo testing > /tmp/foo; read got < /tmp/foo
  $ echo $got
  testing

I found this while using BB 1.18.5, but tested in latest v1.21.1 and
still does the same.

Any clue, or is it a bug/feature in ash?

Thanks!
