One problem with this is that, if you want to add another function to
streams (something that could tell you whether a read would block, for
example), you need to change all the callers. Greg H's interface
suits me better.

Guile at one point had a family of scm_make_port_type_FOO functions,
where FOO was a sequence of letters that indicated which functions it
expected as arguments. It was supposed to be terse, but it ended up
just being ugly and hard to read.
