2 approaches to reading text files with node.js

	const fs = require('fs');
	const util = require('util');

	const readFile = util.promisify(fs.readFile);
	const readdir = util.promisify(fs.readdir);

	async function read1 (file) {
	const label = `read1-${file}`;
	console.time(label);
	const data = await readFile(file, 'utf8');

	/* === EXAMPLE 1 === */

	// Create a simple Promise wrapper for setTimeout
