I guess the question is really: why not tie them automatically, given
that there's not much use for STDIN and STDOUT in the context of a
filter, it doesn't preclude other I/O methods, and it reduces the
complexity of writing a filter?

As of 5.6.x (ie now that BINMODE, EOF, SEEK, and TELL are there), what
incompletenesses are there, and which would bite? I guess the question
is, how far back in the perl 5.x family are you aiming to support more
or less "fully"?
