+[16] The libio stream file functions should be extended in a way to use
+     mmap to map the file and use it as the buffer to user sees.  For
+     read-only streams this should be rather easy and it avoids all read()
+     calls.
+
+     A more sophisticated solution would use mmap also for writing.  The
+     standards do not demand that the file on the disk is always in the
+     correct form so it would be possible to enlarge it always according
+     to the page size and install the correct length only for fclose() and
+     fflush() calls.
