"""New I/O library conforming to PEP 3116.

This is an early prototype; eventually some of this will be
reimplemented in C and the rest may be turned into a package.

Conformance of alternative implementations: all arguments are intended
to be positional-only except the arguments of the open() function.
Argument names except those of the open() function are not part of the
specification.  Instance variables and methods whose name starts with
a leading underscore are not part of the specification (except "magic"
names like __iter__).  Only the top-level names listed in the __all__
variable are part of the specification.

XXX need to default buffer size to 1 if isatty()
XXX need to support 1 meaning line-buffered
XXX don't use assert to validate input requirements
XXX whenever an argument is None, use the default value
XXX read/write ops should check readable/writable
