Discussion: Add safeWithFile function

[David Feuer]

I was thinking

safeHGetContents :: (NFData a) => Handle -> (String -> a) -> IO a

and/or

safeHGetContents :: (NFData a) => Handle -> (String -> IO a) -> IO a

and/or something more explicitly targeting multiple handles (which I think
there must be a nice way to do, somehow!).
