Hello,
There are a number of issues related to D's current handling of streams,
including the existence of the imperfect etc.stream and the
over-specialization of std.stdio.
Steve has worked on an extensive overhaul of std.stdio which would
obviate the need for etc.stream and would improve both the generality
and efficiency of std.stdio.
Please chime in with feedback; he's away from the Usenet but allowed me
to post this on his behalf. I uploaded the docs to

Thanks,

File is now a class. This will break a lot of code.
What is happening to the refcounted File feature? It seems that the new
way of file handling, using a file class, is more error prone than the
old way?
But it is really great to hear that the efficiency problems of std.stdio
are being sorted out!
