I've been meaning to respond to this stdio discussion for a while:
I started writing a stdio replacement based on exactly this idea.
I'd assumed I'd post it when I was finished with it, but I
haven't worked on it in a while.  I do know that it runs well
enough for me to have linked RCS against it to get RCS to work on
my v7 pdp11, which didn't have fopen("w+").  I suppose it wouldn't
take much to convince me to cast it to the four winds "as is"...
