Wouldn't byline return an empty string if the inputstream is

No, both `readln` and `byLine` will block until either EOL or
EOF. They differ in their handling of EOF - `readln` returns an
empty string, while the result of `byLine` reports empty (it is
a range) and calling `front` is an error.
But wouldn't that mean I'd still end up making my char[] mutable,
as I still need to manually remove the last character, AFTER I
checked it's not empty?
