It's probably possible, but I've thought about it a bit and I can't come
up with a good way to do it. That implementation of streams would also
not work if we had a tunnel-through-X transport, or on Win32.

I think a better approach may be to just define some specific interfaces
an object can implement, and then that object will be a stream object.
