At this point, you pretty much have three options:

1. Use std.stdio.File and read it in in pieces (e.g. with byLine or
byChunk).

2. Read the whole file in at once with std.file.read or std.file.readText.

3. Use std.mmfile.MmFile to mmap the file so that the parts that you access
get read into memory, and the rest don't get loaded from disk, but you get
to operate on the whole file as if you had read it all from disk.
