The idea was to show things that actually make sense as return values / statuses rather than exceptions. I surely wouldn't throw an exception for "getline reached EOF"

Yeah, I am not for overusing exceptions, but languages like python make creative use of exceptions. For instance the generator syntax raises an exception when it is done. Interestingly, you can make a generator to go through the lines in a file, and use that when you are at the EOF.
