Read Once, Write Once

[shakna-israel]

Rather than streaming input in, opening and closing before each line to try and accommodate for race conditions, simply bite the bullet and preload files.

Load the entire file into a list, and close it. Parse it from memory and build the entire output into memory, and then write it.

Race conditions can be mentioned, like

if file hash changed:
    print("Input file may have changed... Continue?")

This obviously increases the memory docbuilder may use exponentially, but it should benefit from a speed increase.
