Not really interested because (a) there's one in std.utf, and (b) I could write
my own in just a few lines of code anyway.

But we're really talking about general concepts here, not specific encodings. We need to get the architecture "right" first - which I guess means, in a form that everyone is happy with - and /then/ we start plugging in specific encodings. UTF-8 is one of the easiest, so I'm really not troubled by it. (ASCII is /the/ easiest, obviously).

Antialias, it was you who came up with some ideas for throughput enhancement using buffers. I think we can do use those ideas without sacrificing genericity, which is why I suggested we collaborate on the generic interface. Would you be interested in that?

Sure, Jill. That's what I was attempting <g>

Was offering a transcoder built in the manner suggested; to experiment with said interface. Sometimes it's easier to deal with a more concrete entitiy as opposed to something completely virtual -- if nothing else, it should serve to more fully describe the suggested approach.. I'll need an email address, if this module would be of any value to you?

I'm not volunteering to single-handedly re-document std.stream, but I did start a wiki page for that purpose: http://www.prowiki.org/wiki4d/wiki.cgi?DocComments/Phobos/StdStream

(Anyone can edit it by clicking on the "Edit" link in the upper right corner of the page.)
