I wrote PeekStream to help with parsing IEEE-754 floats, and I wrote SliceStream to help me test PeekStream.
In C++-land, SliceStream is sort of like an std::istringstream, and PeekStream is like std::basic_istream::putback(). Both are useful enough on their own to be in the standard library, IMHO.
Though std.io might not be the right place. It's getting sort of cluttered in there. Maybe make an std.streams module?
