Where it will fail? It can see extra lines, but those are
whitespace, the source should compile just fine.
You're right here; because the D compiler does not require
reading line-by-line.
The line numbers reported will be incorrect, but that's probably
the worst that can happen.
However, in a case like PPM (Portable Pixmap Format), the problem
is that when the first \n character is met, the format switches
to binary; but that will not occur until we've already read a
bunch of bytes from the binary stream, resulting in the picture
being out of sync.
