That's *precisely* the point of my wrapper... sorry if that
wasn't clear.
Why shouldn't that be sufficient for making it random-access?
If you can somehow figure out how to do that via buffering,
then you could make it a forward range as well as whatever
other range types you could define the functions for, but you'd
have to figure out a way to define save.
OK, now we're at the same place. :P
What I'm saying is, I __CAN__ get the buffering to work.
What I __cannot__ figure out what to do with is 'length'... I
can't think of anything reasonable to return, since it's not
infinite (which I might represent as ulong.max, if anything) but
it's unbounded.
So the _ONLY_ problem I'm running into right now is length() --
any ideas how I could fix that?
