[m-dev.] string streams

[Michael Day]

I've implemented some simple string streams - input, output and duplex -
based on what Fergus and Ralph mentioned earlier. However it leaves me
wondering whether it would be better to use array(char) rather than string
for storage, to generalise it to in memory streams of any time. There
could still be a function that went from a stream(char) to a string. Any
thoughts? Also I wouldn't know what to call these new things, buffers?
Pipes? Queues? Deques?
