Not really - just what I attached I'm afraid.  It seems to work reasonably
well for standard I/O - I haven't really had time to try anything else yet.

The attached files certainly build and work.  stream_io is a bit clunky but
the idea is that would all be moved in to the io module (which would require a
few modifications in order to get binary file streams working - at least with
this version of stream.m).
