While we're on the topic, I find Chicken's lightweight-threads and
srfi-18 compatible streams incredibly useful. However, it's a pity that
only unit tcp (and the (process) function) can create such streams.
For example, it would be nice if one could create pipes with the same
property; or, more generally, if any file descriptor could be wrapped in
a srfi-18 compatible stream (or pair of streams).
The code is already there, so this should be quite feasible. I *almost*
understand how it works, but there seem to be some messy details...
P.S. I have some other thoughts about binary streams and a possible
stream API, but I'll make that a separate message.
Cheers,
Dan
