If this is the case, why is NoBuffering provided? Why does the
documentation for Handle explicitly mention non-existent and zero-length
buffers? If Handles are the standard cross-platform interface to buffered
file IO, what is the standard cross-platform interface to unbuffered IO
(output, specifically, since input is technically always at least 1 byte
buffered)?
