New submission from Sworddragon <sworddrag...@aol.com>:

For file objects the read() function has the optional size argument to limit 
the data that will be read. I'm wondering why there isn't such an argument for 
readline(). Theoretically lines in a file could have million of characters and 
even much more. An optional limit could prevent that a high amount of data will 
be load into the memory.
