Oops. This turned into a ramble. "flush" ne "sync". If both are needed in different places, provide both as distinct methods.
Valid point though. We need both a flush and a sync, since we can't be sure that what's living underneath an io handle is a real file. 'Kay, sync and flush are both on the list.
