Yes that's what I meant, I just think it needs to be considered if we're
thinking about making it (or something like it) the default python
sys.std*. Maybe the decision will be that maintaining compatibility with
these cases isn't important.

I don't know if it's *wrong* per se (same with the no buffer/raw thing
etc), I'm just concerned about the possible effects on code that is
written against the current implementation.
