But it IS exceptional behavior!
Exceptions are not called "errors". Exceptional processing is when you
cannot continue with "normal" processing (i.e., an exception to the rule).
Typically, you have a loop, and you encounter a situation that forces you to
make something different from the regular loop processing. Seems to me that
the end of file typically fits this situation.
