[issue1152248] Enhance file.readlines by making line separator selectable

[Raymond Hettinger]

Raymond Hettinger added the comment:

For the record, I thought it was a reasonable request.

AWK has a similar feature.  The AWK book shows a number of example 
uses.  Google's codesearch shows that the feature does get used in the 
field:  http://www.google.com/codesearch?q=lang%3Aawk+RS&hl=en

I think this request should probably be kept open.
