My earlier understanding was that readf was reading till the end of the
input. So, you will see that it will terminate when you press Ctrl-D at
the console. I explain that understanding here:
http://ddili.org/ders/d.en/strings.html#ix_strings.readln
However, when I tried your code again with dmd git head, I see that
readf reads the first line of entry *after* I press two Enters on the
console.
