Either use std.stdio.File - e.g. byChunk will allow you to read files as a
range of chunks. Or you can use std.mmfile.MmFile to use memory-mapped I/O
and operate on the file as a dynamic array (which is about as efficient as
it gets). If you want random access, MmFile would likely be the best option
