=begin
 I know of no way of reading N characters (as opposed to bytes) and returning a string other than writing a loop with getc or each_char.
 
 Suggestions - one of:
 
 1) Change the "limit" paramater on IO#gets to mean characters rather than bytes. This would change existing behaviour, so may be unacceptable.
 
 2) Add an optional "limit" parameter to IO#getc, so IO#getc will read up to this many characters
=end
