Why not leave this to the caller? Efficiency?? Filtering out empty
lines is the least of your worries.

Try giving the callers options to do things they *can't* do
themselves, like a different line-terminator or a buffer size > 2048
[which could well enhance efficiency] or < 10 [which definitely
enhances testing]
