Summary: Enhance file.readlines by making line separator selectable

Initial Comment:
There is no canonical way to iterate through a file on
chunks *other* than whole lines without reading the
whole file into memory.

Allowing the separator to be specified as an argument
to file.readlines and file.xreadlines would greatly
simplify the task.

See here for an example interface of the useful options:
