With an empty file `empty_file`, this seems indisputably correct.
```ruby
File.open("empty_file") {|f| f.read(0, "abc")} #=> ""
```

OTOH, obviously these seem bugs.
```ruby
File.open("empty_file") {|f|f.readpartial(0, "abc")} #=> "abc"

File.open("empty_file") {|f|f.read_nonblock(0, "abc")} #=> "abc"
```
