996	Socket.pmc should implement readline	coke	whiteknight	"The following code

{{{
.sub main
  $P1 = new 'Socket'
  # connect to a port.
  $S1 = readline $P1
.end
}}}

dies with 
{{{
Method 'readline' not found
current instr.: 'main' pc -1 ((unknown file):-1)
called from Sub 'main' pc 3 (foo.pir:4)
}}}

I imagine I'm not the only HLL author who needs line-based reads on arbitrary handles. Is this something parrot should provide or do I need to roll my own?

(also, if readline is just a shortcut to call the readline method, let's kill the opcode.)"	RFC	closed	normal		none	trunk	medium	fixed
