Reading one byte at a time is inefficient. However I believe the File class does not provide access to the buffer directly without going through a read operation.
This inefficient implementation may be enough for now, or a more efficient impl that warrants new File API may be required.
(`fgets` also has a naive impl FWIW).
Tagging @michaelrj-google anc @sivachandra as they have worked on the File implementation.
