On the one hand, that's a pretty cool library. (with a function to emulate back-tick into an array)

On the other hand, now I have to go to the Enterprise Committee with a Permission To Install Library Form to get it, since it's not part of the base language. It might well be worth it to use Google's jar, but it's a delaying nuisance.

java 8 has

http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/nio/file/Files...

Stream<string> Files.lines("/foo", StandardCharsets.UTF_8)

java 7 has http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/nio/file/Files... but it's not lazy.

Dude, this ain't no straw man, this is my life! :-)

Not sayin' it's a universal problem, but it's a problem for me.
