Well I had already thought about this but I see 2 problems here: first
of all, passing around filehandles. I'm not really an Inline Guru and
haven't passed around anything more than basic scalars and such. I'm
not sure how I would go around with a FILE*. Second, I'm not sure how
the whole fopen(...), fclose(...), etc. ritual would work with a FILE*
imported from Perl-space. Would it be already open, would I have to
close it when I'm done? What about when the filehandle is not really
associated with a file like the case here with $iostr?
