That shouldn't matter so long as there's a simple way to create
a PerlIO * from a FILE * or whatever.
That's probably something that needs to be specific to different
language bindings - if you're embedding perl in C++ you probably
have an iostream, and if you're embedding in Java you'll have a
Java stream object. In each case you'll want an easy way to create
a PerlIO object from that.
