I also completely agree. But: the original email discussed an implementation 
where we would globally replace the C fgets() and fread() functions, and on 
that level it seemed to be difficult. But it turned out not to be difficult 
(as I think I explained in a later email) because we can check for fileno(fp) 
== 1.

Please keep the input coming, I'll try and find time to summarize and come up 
with a new proposal later tonight.
