the generic buffered IO suggested there is exactly what I
am doing right now, supporting regular seekable files,
string buffers and bidirectional and unidirectional streams,
including sockets and pipes.

On the one hand it's not portable per se:
There is the #ifdef _WIN32 impl and the posix impl
and some system might require something else.
OTOH, e.g. printf uses identical code for all
plattforms and thus should be bug-compatible.

Some alpha due next week.
