Adding xreadlines() to the interface would break half a dozen file-objects all
around the world (just the standard library has StringIO, cStringIO,
GzipFile and probably some others I can't remember)

Adding .readlines(sizehint) to fileinput, and adding a function
to create something similar to fileinput from a file object (as opposed
to a file name) would help everyone, and doesn't seem to hard.
Is there a gotcha I'm just not seeing?
