[New-bugs-announce] [issue37141] Allow multiple separators in StreamReader.readuntil

[Bruce Merry]

New submission from Bruce Merry <bmerry at gmail.com>:

Text-based protocols sometimes allow a choice of newline separator - I work with one that allows either \r or \n. Unfortunately that doesn't work with StreamReader.readuntil, which only accepts a single separator, so I've had to do some hacky things to obtain lines without having to 

>From discussion in issue 32052, it sounded like extending StreamReader.readuntil to support a tuple of separators would be feasible.
