A new standard module, as discussed on comp.lang.python, to simplify
the writing of filters.
Typical use is:
import fileinput
for line in fileinput.input():
process(line)
This iterates over the lines of all files listed in sys.argv[1:],
defaulting to sys.stdin if the list is empty or when a filename is
'-'.
There is also an option to use this to direct the output back to the
input files.
