std::io::read_to_string #80218Description
Feature gate: #![feature(io_read_to_string)]
This is a tracking issue for the std::io::read_to_string function.
The equivalent of std::fs::read_to_string, but generalized to all
Read impls.
As the documentation on std::io::read_to_string says, the advantage of
this function is that it means you don't have to create a variable first
and it provides more type safety since you can only get the buffer out
if there were no errors. If you use Read::read_to_string, you have to
remember to check whether the read succeeded because otherwise your
buffer will be empty.
It's friendlier to newcomers and better in most cases to use an explicit
return value instead of an out parameter.
