OK, I'll file a bug.

But it could perfectly well be used this way, modulo the bug above, and
this is a very useful thing to be able to do (stdin here could be a
decompression or decryption pipeline, or a read from a remote socket, or
whatever.
With the bug in the Swift backend fixed, I think it will work just fine
to stream through a glance client in this way.
