Would something like this help with this particular sub-problem?

The end-of-file error signaled by read has incorrect data if it's
signaled during a load, by a read unrelated to that load.

1. Create a file "~/read-empty.el" containing:
(read "")
2. (load "~/read-empty.el")
3. Observe the error message:
End of file during parsing: /home/sbaugh/read-empty.el

This error message suggests that there's a syntax error in
read-empty.el, when in fact the syntax error is in something else
entirely.  This is quite confusing.

This happens because end_of_file_error uses load-true-file-name if it's
non-nil, even if the actual read call is unrelated.

One possible fix: a new variable read-file-name could be introduced, and
end_of_file_error could use that instead of load-true-file-name, and
load can just bind read-file-name around read.

As one particular example of the confusing current behavior, a user had
corrupted their ~/.emacs.d/projects so that reading it failed.  Also,
they had a call to (project-forget-zombie-projects) in their init.el.
In combination, this meant Emacs startup errored with:

End of file during parsing: /home/user/.emacs.d/init.el

even though there was no syntax error in init.el at all.

To resolve that, perhaps project--read-project-list could bind
read-file-name to project-list-file, so we'd get an error message which
properly mentions the project file instead.
