[issue11010] Unicode BOM left in loaded text

[Martin v. Löwis]

Martin v. Löwis <martin at v.loewis.de> added the comment:

Why are you saying this isn't an issue in 2.6.5? It behaves exactly the same as 2.7.1.

In any case, this is not a bug. Pass encoding="utf-8-sig" to io.open to have the signature stripped when the file is read.
