Hi Ali,

Being a new D learner, I've noticed this behavior as well. Thank 
you for providing the 'readLine' function! Would it be considered 
poor coding style to intercept the stream between readf and 
readln with the following statement?  :

```d
      auto catcher = readln.strip;
```
P.S. I love your book on D! :)

Cheers,
