I believe std.stream is scheduled for deprecation in the not-too-distant 
future, so new code should use std.stdio.File.

I also find the socket IO implementation to which you are referring 
(Adam Ruppe's, right?) very promising.  I hope it is adopted into 
Phobos.  After having used std.stdio.File for a while now, I've really 
come to like its interface.  I hope Andrei succeeds in uniting streams 
and ranges.
