For what? We have a new 64-bit system for working with "regular" files. Why access it through $QIO and not through convenient functions?

The authors of RMS have invented and made SSIO. Do you think they were wrong and we need to correct the CRTL? I'm not sure if your solution will work and it will probably be slower than SSIO.

read/write/pread/pwrite/readv/writev are SSIO ready since 2005. ;)
