Nicely done.

The extensive Penlight treatise mentions  "File-style I/O on Strings". Which is nice.

Would anyone have the reverse? String-style methods on Files?

E.g.:

local aFile = io.open( 'test.txt', 'rb' )

if aFile:find( 'foo', 1, true ) do
  ...
end

In other words, string methods [2] working in terms of a file object? :)
