I wrote this (attached) module a few years back, and then more or less
forgot about it again. It can work as a pipe, or just read from a
string. It would be nice if something like it (or your own version)
would make its way into the standard library. The code is not terribly
well tested but I think it worked. Feel free to reuse the best parts.
