The only concern is the risk of concurrent development of stdio and
Tango's I/O. It would be best to not balkanize the community by
presenting them functionally almost equivalent interfaces. Phobos
already has two, no, three mutually incompatible ways of dealing with
files. I don't know how this can be approached effectively.
