I can use readText, but if I want to use the byLine range with a call to
array() to save the lines of a text I end up getting garbage (I know why):

auto file = File("foo.txt", "r");
auto lineBuff = array(file.byLine());

I don't know if it can be fixed, I mean array() is not to blame (it only
exhausts a range), and byLine reuses a char[] buffer to stay efficient. But it
looks like something that could be thought about.

As a workaround I can do:

lineBuff = readText(r"file.txt").splitLines;

So it's not a big issue, but I ran into it and hence this report.
