      The result of a call to the File module's functions has to be used.

      While this is correct ...

            filename = File.cwd!() <> "/" <> filename

          def read_from_cwd(filename) do
            File.cwd!() <> "/" <> filename

            File.read(filename)
          end

      Since Elixir variables are immutable, many File operations don't work on the
      variable you pass in, but return a new variable which has to be used somehow.
