??? Why? File is not a stream. It's a separate thing. I see no reason to combine
it with streams. I don't think that the separation between std.stdio and
std.stream as it stands is a problem. The problem is the design of std.stream.

Isn't file I/O a pretty important use case for streams, i.e. the main one?
