Comment(by nwellnhof):
Maybe it's better that FileHandle.read stays like it is and accepts byte
counts, but throws if it encounters a multi-byte encoded buffer that
doesn't fit in the requested size. Reading characters can be done with a
new method FileHandle.read_chars.
readline() for sockets and pipes with multi-byte characters is even more
complicated than I thought. It can happen that we have a partial multi-
byte char at the of an input buffer and that the following read/recv
doesn't return enough bytes to complete the char.
Also see IOTasklist in the Wiki.
