file:seek missing in the interface

Greetings,

I was surprised that the :seek method is missing from the file interface since it is somewhat crucial if you want to read a multi-megabyte file without littering the server's memory.

So can we have the :seek method exported on the computercraft interface please? It would be nice if it could follow the same prototype from the original Lua api. Thank you very much.

Maybe later. It isn't exactly straightforward to implement.

Just FYI, Clody:

I am well aware of that and stand by what I said.
