a) What is the rationale behind not making byLineCopy the default?
byLine was the original implementation. byLineCopy was added later
after the need for it became apparent.

THX. BTW byLineCopy defaults to immutable char. That's why one has to use
auto tmp = File(filename).byLineCopy!(char, char);
or
auto tmp = File(filename).byLine.map!dup;
I was going to suggest use byLineCopy!(char, char), because the second
option with map makes a copy every time you call front.
And, my goodness, that is backwards for the template parameters. The
terminator type should be determined by IFTI, it should never have been
the first template parameter!
