You can just use read (or stream-read) which returns less bytes if the file
is smaller:
http://docs.factorcode.org/content/word-read,io.html
So this does what you want:
"/path/to/file" utf8 [ 1024 read ] with-file-reader
The stream-read-partial is used for some performance improvements in
slurping a whole file in chunks via each-stream-block.
