   Does it need to have functionality where it produces output before it has   
   seen all the input ? If not , then I would not just read a whole line but a   
   whole file (or input) ! It seems extravagant but unless you have a realistic   
   scenario where you worry that the whole input won't fit into memory , it is   
   simplest to read the whole input into memory.
