Hehe.. std.stdio.File is actually one of the new parts of Phobos,
introduced with DMD 2.029 less than a year ago. (std.stream, on the
other hand, seems to be a relic from D1. It doesn't look like it's seen
major updates since 2005...)
Though the underlying code of std.stdio.File may be suboptimal, I have
taken a liking to its interface. But then again, the notion of any
input/output stream being a 'file' may not be natural for many users.

Will there be an unbuffered interface to file handles? std.stdio.File wraps a
FILE* which I find substandard. I don't think D should be relying on C
buffering for D-only constructs.
I actually find the whole notion of relying on libc a little suspect, even for
the standard handles.
Is there a document somewhere which lists which parts of phobos will be
trimmed? I am not very familiar with the library, and I'd like to know what
parts to avoid when contributing.

I plan to throw away all of std.stream.
