+Notes:
+- Using a real file is often faster (but less convenient).
+- There's also a much faster implementation in C, called cStringIO, but
+  it's not subclassable.
+- fileno() is left unimplemented so that code which uses it triggers
+  an exception early.
+- Seeking far beyond EOF and then writing will insert real null
+  bytes that occupy space in the buffer.
+- There's a simple test set (see end of this file).
