Hi,

I think I am missing something very obvious=E2=80=A6

For unit tests I want a std.stdio.File object that is backed by an in
memory string buffer rather than an actual file on disc, be it temporary
or otherwise.  I think I am missing where this is documented in the
documentation. Or is it actually not available?

Thanks.

This is only available for std.stream

This package has a big red "deprecated" notice, so I didn't look at it.
Is this an indication that I should? Is there a planned replacement?

Actually I am also making heavy use of it, as I am porting to D a Java
based application that uses streams.

Relying on std.stream makes the porting easier, but I am also wondering 
about it.

We want to have a range based replacement, but it's nowhere near in sight.

Part of the idea of using ranges is you can switch to a memory buffer instead
of 
an actual file.
