you should adapt this to follow the node.js stream api.
nodejs.org/api/stream.html
then it'll be a lot more useful because it will be compatible with
every sort of io module in node. for example, then you'd be able to
just do this:
read from a file:
var scope = {}
fs.createReadStream(file).pipe(new VarStream(scope, true))
.on('end', function () {console.log(scope)})
or write to a file
new VarStream(scope).pipe(fs.createWriteStream(file))
unfortunately, most websocket libraries do not follow the node.js
stream api (YET!).
