Sorry, I realized after i sent that off that I said blocks. All I intended
to do was to grab a line at a time.
Actually, we could just not allow intrusive file openings like with
connections, but let connections go both ways (trying to open an intrusive
file would throw an error).
< Sending them how? Just like net connections?
Yes.
< Hm. The answer is: neither. Files are more complex than net
< connections, you'd want to be able to seek around in them and the like.
But do you really? I can see file read/write being used somewhat, but
file seeking and other higher level ops just wouldn't. Cold is a higher
level language. I feel that type of control is beyond it's intended
scope...
(but, hey, you never know...)
