I don't see any reason not to use ReadHuge() - in fact, the name is more
meaningful of what you intend, to read enormous globs of data. It is
provided for backward compatibility, so by definition it is still quite
valid. Not that I envisage ever having to use it.

I doubt it could, no... but then what are you going to do while waiting for
that huge file to load anyway? {:v) But it should make the system more
responsive while it loads it, I guess, using overlapped.
