I do not know how common this situation is, but: - it is common enough that some editors address it explicitly (e.g., Vim, Epsilon) - Java's TextReader addresses it explicitly <URL:http://www.cs.arizona.edu/~reges/teachers/TextReader.html> Based on these considerations an unterminated final line looks like a possibility. If so, perhaps that should be addressed by changing that line I pointed out in `loadtxt`.
