That's exactly what I'm expecting.
Funnily enough, I was about to start a thread on the topic after reading 
related posts. My point was:
"I'm not a specialist in efficiency (rather the opposite), I just know there is 
--theoretically-- relevant performance loss to expect from unbuffered input in 
various cases. Could we define a generic input-buffering primitive allowing 
people to benefit from others' competence? Just like Appender."
