I'm looking over this now, but as a heads-up to other script-coord
folks:  this is a "binary streams" API, similar to Node's streams.  If
you're interested in getting that variety of stream right, it would be
nice to do so here, in this API, so it doesn't get held up as a
mistake-but-you-should-be-compatible-with-it in the future.
