Given the latest developement of the discussion, I assume that 
what you suggest is really "no-DbI", right ? Or do you think that 
a static interface would do it ?

I dont know why but when you talk about bigger files that reminds 
me the Stream class... removed. For example, immediate thought is 
that, buffering of a big file could be hidden behind an 
InputRange.
