yes, but it is written in efficient C. and anyway it is monadic
operation, because buffer contents are changed on each call. so that
is your translation? :)

i need to write MONADIC code. this one-liners is just an examples. i
can paste my whole functions what makes much more - read files,
simultaneously compress and decompress data using C libs, pass data
buffers back and forth between C threads, update GUI state, so on, so on
