Now that perlio is in the mainline I _really_ need to know
what to do next in terms of making it useful.
This means knowing what it "should" look like to perl5:
Do you want getc($fh) return character or a byte depending on the handle's
top "layer" ?
Likewise does
$count = read($fh,$buffer,10);
read 10 chars or 10 bytes depending on mode ?
How do you want I open a file which is utf8 or shift-jis or whatever?
What should "binmode" mean now we have layers?
