content = fh.read()
fh.close()

While completely functional, using it requires the installation of Python and a Python module. Admittedly this is a very small lift (already have Python installed and we're only looking at one module), but having a self-contained tool that I can drop into my $PATH is appealing.
I also need a project to begin testing automated builds/release publishing workflows, so this is as good a candidate as any.

JSON is a good example of this.
This file is one such example:
