Reading from a file with File.readLines is discouraged for big files.
I suppose is just because it builds a List so of course a Sequence is preferred.
But, does this advice apply also to:

val stream: Flow<String> = File(arguments.filename).readLines().asFlow()
?
Not sure if the composer maybe optimise this to not have the full list before flowing,...

Nothing has changed, you are still building a list of all lines in the file: https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin/blob/62e335ac886f452e1706d9944def6f6fca42bca0/libraries/stdlib/jvm/src/kotlin/io/FileReadWrite.kt#L209-L221

Probably want something like forEachLine()
