Problem

When opening a named pipe neovim remains unresponsive even after the producer(s) finish writing and close their end of the pipe.

Steps to reproduce

mkfifo pipe
nvim --clean ./pipe

from another terminal:

cowsay 'I love neovim!' >./pipe

Expected behavior

Should work the same as with an unnamed pipe (... | nvim -)

After the producers close their write ends neovim should load the data into a buffer and start accepting user input.

Neovim version (nvim -v)
