That might make sense. There are definitely cases where it would be
useful. I don't want to change the type of sourceIO to the suggested
type, since:

1. It complicates things for the common case
2. Returning a tuple means that when we return IOClosed, we still need
to return a state, even though it doesn't make sense.

This should be a fairly minor change, I think I'll throw it in soon.
