Not digging into the whole thread.

9. Extensible I/O package to replace our monolitic std.stdio sitting 
awkwardly on top of C's legacy. That would imply integrating it with 
sockets/pipes and filters/codecs (compression, transcoding and the like) 
as well.

I was looking of into it with Steven, but currently have little spare

join the effort in proper rank.
