stdx.data.json - enhancement suggestions

[Ilya Yaroshenko via Digitalmars-d-learn]

Current std.stdio is deprecated. This ad-hoc should works.

	auto json = File("fileName")
		.byChunk(1024 * 1024) //1 MB. Data cluster equals 1024 * 4
		.map!(ch => ch.idup)
		.joiner
		.map!(b => cast(char)b)
		.parseJSON;
