This program

import std.file;
import std.stdio;

void main()
{
    std.file.write("empty.txt", "");
    auto file = File("empty.txt");

    foreach(line; file.byLine())
        writeln(line);
}


results in this output:

The foreach should just not run, since it's effectively iterating over an empty
range, but apparently ByLine's empty doesn't check the possibility that EOF has
already been reached - just whether the file is open or not.
