Ouch. :)

I'm sure this code already exists in the RTL though, right? I assume it's part 
of some classes like TStringList and we can just pull it up into a collection 
of functions which are easily searchable in the RTL docs. 

If not what is lowest level cross-platform layer which already exists and can 
we build up from? Maybe the "TextFile" type helps us? (I know it's ancient and 
I've never used it before honestly).
