[alexandria-devel] Moving to next stage

[Faré]

Oh, my!
IOLib already has such a project, and so does flexi-stream, not to

Are you synchronizing with the IOLib author regarding this
external-format handling (and other features)? It looks like IOLib is
still in active development -- producing enough patches to break my
code.
