That's a pity, I kind of like the streams concept. It's handy to  be 
able to e.g. use a file and a network stream alike (of course the latter 
is not seekable, but if you just want to read/append that doesn't matter).

However IMHO at least that 64bit write(char[]) issue should be fixed now 
that DMD (also for D1) is ported to AMD64.
