Perhaps not. It seemed attractive because it doesn't add line ends in,
which would mean that I wouldn't have to strip off the 'CRLF's
returned from the server.  Basically laziness on my part.

I assume you're definitely against the use of sequential_io in this
case is because there's no guarantee (within the standard?) that
text_io would be able to sensibly read it back.  Which seems sensible
in general.

Cheers for the help. I'll no doubt be back with other daft questions.
