I did not think of that... What about writing a stream class that works
much like a two-way stream (i.e. relaying calls to the appropriate
stream), but closes both when itself closed? Or is there a simpler
alternative?

(I should be banging my head on grammars and automatons right now, since
I have an important exam tomorrow, but I could implement this until
weekend.)
