This is a mess at the moment. There are three basic kinds of files: * unix fd or windows handles * C FILE* * C++ iostreams and on top of that we have built Felix level wrappers, and on top of that there is a half completed typeclass based stream abstraction. So actually we have not got this right yet. The last version of Felix added typeclasses, and it changed the whole way we approached making libraries: we start to use typeclasses instead of open overloading, but typeclasses make you think much harder about your abstractions, which is good. But the conversion isn't finished because we're still confused.. this isn't a Felix language issue but a library issue. It needs to be driven by what users expect tempered with a nice theoretical model .. so ..
