Remarks
Due to a bug in runtime (in the InStream.Read(<text>,<integer>) function) it is only possible to
read up to the first 1000000 characters if the text is encoded as UTF8 or UTF16.
As a workaround, in these circumstances this function reverts to reading all characters and then just returns the first selected characters. This might have a negative performance impact.
