Hi Eric. I did mention that option in my report, but that option requires 
loading the whole file into memory. I'd like something equivalent to the 
iterator that `open()` provides, which yields lines lazily.

Serihy, thanks for the feedback. I do indeed not want to rely on the implicit 
closing of the file handle. I'd instead like a helper function/method that will 
close the file after the iterator is consumed.

Something like:

def read_lines(path):
    with path.open() as strm:
        yield from strm

What I'm seeking is for that block to be placed somewhere in the stdlib so that 
I don't have to copy it into every project that needs/wants this behavior.
