stdin->line_iterator

Yes, we could have lots of iterators. The one I propose should be the main line iterator though.

What's the iterator-correspondence to * then? With a /-behaviour of the line iterator

foreach(Stdio.stdin->line_iterator();; string x) write("%s\n", x);

adds an extra newline to the input. It's *not* behaving like / followed by *. That makes the correspondence between line_iterator and / pretty useless, in my opinion.

Anyway, there's no need to kill each other for this. I think the gets way is the most commonly useful variant, but we could have more than one iterator if you really think some different behaviour is also useful.
