It's not really a simplification but a change - you want Buckets to be
abstractions of fixed size buffers rather than files.

Counting bytes adds a bit of code complication, but negligable runtime
cost. So it makes more sense to implement it in the bucket (meaning it
may be run redundantly) then to leave it to the user (meaning that the 
implementation may redundantly duplicated).

I think it is worth having just to make the interface more flexible
(IIRC the CLI client uses it for the progress indicator for example).
