As a simple example of how Windows can be painful, take the standard ARGF approach to handling all "kinds of input":
ARGF.each do |line| puts line end On Windows, this doesn't work for redirected stdin e.g. read_stuff < my_input.txt :-( (Yes I have just wasted several head-scratching minutes on this. If anyone can suggest a workround or shim I would be immensely grateful 'cos I failed to find anything on the interweb.)
