When it gets merged into master/stable-2.0, I'd suggest using (srfi
srfi-41) rather than (ice-9 streams). It cures the off-by-1 problems
that frequently occur with "odd" streams.

Another approach to stream based IO is called "iteratees", as proposed
by Oleg Kiselyov.[0] I had started working on an implementation[1], but
it quite incomplete at the moment. Maybe one day...
