So I did it well to not put one in the first time. I think that after
100 posts about tail, chunks etc it was clear what that stuff was
about and how to use it.

Speaking about more serious things, so far I've done a test with:

* a file that does not end with \n
* a file that ends with \n (after Stefan test)
* a file with more than 10 lines
* a file with less than 10 lines

It seemed to work. I've only to benchmark it. I suppose I have to test
with at least 1 GB file, a big lorem ipsum, and do an unequal
comparison with Linux tail. I'll do it when I have time, so Chris will
be no more angry with me.

Although the moon is smaller than the earth, it is farther away.
