Comment (by ehuelsmann):

 Both Franz and Scieneer object to using flexi-streams to do the job of
 creating bivalent streams.

 The current best-known solution would be to:

  - Create a function which translates a common set of external formats
 into the implementation specific ones

  - Fall back to flexi-streams on platforms where streams aren't bivalent
 and don't support any of the other possibly nice features
