--- Comment #8 from Rich Felker <bugdal at aerifal dot cx> ---
There's another open bug, #6050, which is to be fixed by removing the useless
and harmful attempt to read the whole input file into memory, so I don't think
adding more cases to do this would be a good idea. Using the same file for
input and output is just ALWAYS wrong for all the standard utilities; iconv is
no exception.
