Phobos function to check if files are identical?

It's not easy to do by hand of course, but I was wondering if
there was one simple function taking two file names and just
returning a bool or something like that. I haven't found it in
std.file.
If such a function doesn't exist in Phobos but there's a good
implementation in some other library, I'm interested to know.
Although this time it's for a unit test so I'd rather implement
it in two lines than add a dependency.
And otherwise to write it by hand, how do you think is the best
way? And in terms of performance? By chunks in case of a binary
comparison? And what about the case of a text comparison?
Thanks
