There is one other possibility: make your own version of fopen(), fread(), etc., using your own polymorphic structure and mono_runtime_invoke calls to call back into a Stream if the handle is based on one. I've used this approach myself to write highly-generic C code that could, e.g., open a block of memory like a file.
