They would work as current character streams, which accept both character
and byte input and outputs. The tricky part is guessing the appropriate
character and byte sizes for arbitrary sequences, and make sure the user
supplies the right values for formats. Quite boring to code but would
exactly implement what you wrote in the previous email.
