        I disagree. Seek() is only weird in a forward only cursor style stream, 
thus a stream of bytes in which you can't go back
into.

        To me that's a 'stream'. What currently is implemented as Stream is an 
R/W buffer with a readpointer you can position where
you want. That of course will never be thread-safe unless the buffer is locked 
per call to write/read.
