Yes, File should support large files whether or not it wraps FILE* or
some other OS-dependent handle.

Of course it's fixable in principle, but is it fixable in the context of
File just being a wrapper around the C stdlib file IO? I personally
don't care if File wraps OS-specific APIs instead of the C stdlib API,
but I thought that for whatever reason (maybe the reason was just ease
of implementation) File was supposed to only be a thin wrapper over
standard C I/O.

I see. At a point there was a long discussion between Sean and me
about how we can fix that problem. I forgot the conclusion. Anyway,
I know the matter can be fixed and at some point I even had a draft fix.

I'm confused. 2409 is about delegates and 2410 also looks
unrelated.
I must be missing something.
FWIW I recall I did solve the large file issue.

Will there be an unbuffered interface to file handles?
std.stdio.File wraps a FILE* which I find
substandard. I don't
think D should be relying on C buffering for D-only
constructs.
I actually find the whole notion of relying on libc a
little
suspect, even for the standard handles.
You will find it a lot suspect if you try to work with files
over 2 GB. See bugs 2409 and 2410.
