io2 readAllBytes / readAllFile does not work at compile time #145
Using readAllBytes / readAllFile / ... or rather the underlying readFile cannot be used at compile time because of usage of toOpenArray.
Hitting practically this issue: https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/issues/19969
Circumventing the usage of toOpenArray makes you then hit:
`/nim-stew/stew/io2.nim(1220, 21) Error: cannot 'importc' variable at compile time; stat`
Which has to do with posix.stat usage for getting the file size.
I realize that these are more Nim issues than nim-stew/io2 issues, but still creating an issue here to track, as because of this I end up working around it by still using std/io its readFile. (Same appears to have been done in nimbus-eth2).
