I don&#x27;t know if that&#x27;s something I would handle at the VM level, probably rather an API on top of a native call mechanism in the core library.<p>I suppose if there is enough similarity across I&#x2F;O then perhaps something could be added.  I&#x27;m not familiar enough with the state of low level programming to know, and I&#x27;d lean towards minimalism unless there was a compelling reason not to.<p>What do you think?
