Description

### Type of issue

Typo

### Description

The text for "ArgumentOutOfRangeException" refers to "The number of characters in the next line" which is surely a copy/paste from ReadLine. There is no 'line' if we're reading the entire remainder of the file.

Also, the 'Returns' text should steal this part from StreamReader.ReadToEnd:

> If the current position is at the end of the stream, returns an empty string ("").

I assume that's the intent for TextReader too.
