19944, "ShreyasKhandekar", "I/O Module: better way to stripNewline in readLine", "2022-06-06T15:53:54Z"
In our current implementation of readLine we intially include the newline character regardless of what is specified in the stripNewline argument. We then use string.strip() or byted.strip() to strip the newline if needed.
This is not a very memory efficient way to handle strings and thus a better way is needed.
One possible implementation could be to have an additional string_format in iostyleInternal which could be something along the lines of QIO_STRING_FORMAT_TOEND_DROPEND and set the end to be the newline character. This would result in the newline being read but never included in the string.
