That's exactly what I was wondering. How do other languages handle
this situation? I tried Python, Perl, Ruby, and TCL. They all seem to
support his expectation and what I would have imagined would be
returned:

    $ python io.py
    12 helloworld
    12 helloworld
    12 helloworld

    $ ruby io.rb
    12 helloworld
    12 helloworld
    12 helloworld

    $ tclsh io.tcl
    11 helloworld
    11 helloworld
    11 helloworld

    $ perl io.pl
    helloworld
    helloworld
    helloworld

    $ lua io.lua
    15  hellohellohello
