That's bad API design, pure and simple. The function should e.g. return
the string including the line terminator, and only return an empty (or

I'd say it should throw upon EOF as it is pretty high-level convenience
function.
I disagree. Exceptions should never be used for flow control so the rule
is to throw on exceptional occurrences ONLY not on something that you will
ALWAYS eventually happen.
