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.
