These examples are cute, but I think in real programs it's
usually important to handle `stdin` being exhausted. With
`readln`, such code is prone to go into an infinite loop.
Of course in these same real programs, `byLine` is often the
better choice anyway...
Usually if you're working with a console though the input stream
won't exhaust and thus the blocking 'readln' would be a better
option, no?
I'll just use the chomp method as that seems like the best option.
