readFile does not seem to accept options object

[turnerhayes]

When I run fs.readFile(somePath, { encoding: "utf8" }, (err, content) => {}), which (I think) works with the native Node fs module, it throws an error TypeError: Unknown encoding: [object Object]. It seems to work if I just pass "utf8", rather than an object.

@turnerhayes This issue should have existed until this #39 was merged. Since its was merged long back I think this issue is not valid anymore.Thanks!

I can confirm that this issue still exists.

This doesn't work:

fs.readFile(filepath, { encoding: 'utf8' })

This does work:

fs.readFile(filepath, 'utf8')
