Great!  I'll start off by working up a patch that implements any easy  
missing stuff from http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dfksfvqd_1cn5g5m  
(aiming for simplicity and reasonable but not extreme efficiency)  
along with more unit tests.   I'll also have a go at a BufferedReader  
method to support a reasonably efficient TextIOWrapper.readline().

Hopefully I'll have something in the next week or so.  Daniel and  
Mike - please let me know if I'm overlapping with anything you're  
working on - I don't want to tread on anyone's toes.
