Thanks for the RFC!
I wonder, though, what happens if the file descriptor is then
manipulated directly, but the stream is accessed later. Probably,
there's no way to keep the stream resource properly working in all cases.
Isn't the DIO extension[1] already sufficient for such kind of low-level
stuff?
