Resolved #473
I am removing this bit because this advice to not throw on recoverable-from cases like a file failing to open is actually not respected by Nim standard library. `readFile` and `readLines` both throw and exceptions must be used as a method of control flow for the recovery from that. There are alternatives, like opening a file handle instead of using these helpers, but that's less convenient than these helper methods for cases where you really want to just slurp up a file to memory and use a fallback value if it doesn't exist or is for whatever reason not readable.
