I'd like to see std.stream dumped. I don't see any reason for it to exist that
std.stdio
doesn't do (or should do).
So std.stdio.File is the replacement for the std.stream stuff?
Not exactly. Ranges are the replacement. std.stdio.File is merely a range that
deals with files.
How does/will it provide all the different kinds of stream that std.stream
provides, as well as the other kinds of stream that applications will need?
The future is a range interface, not a stream one.
What's the plan for std.cstream?
I don't see a purpose for std.cstream.
The only reason it's there at the moment is for backwards compatibility.
So the plan is to deprecate that, then remove it, _then_ fix this issue?
Or make toString and toHash in the stream classes bypass constancy?
What do you suggest?
