What is the best way to read from files without going through <http://Java.io|Java.io>.File?

Have a look at the static methods on `java.nio.file.Files` <https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/docs/api/java.base/java/nio/file/Files.html#readAllBytes(java.nio.file.Path)>

There are also some extension methods available for `java.nio.file.Path` introduced in Kotlin 1.4.20

Well I was wanting to stay on the hotline side and build it out from input streams but the documentation isn’t there.
