Hi!
The key part of this reply was "these particular", as they are very platform specific and useless in a generic stream wrapper implementation.
Every stream wrapper doesn't have to implement them - as it doesn't have to implement conversion to socket, etc. But without this, it is impossible to create a stream wrapper that implements full range of filesystem functions - which means, wrappers are useless for dealing with filesystem. This is a big hole in functionality, and it should be fixed.
