Maybe it's a good idea for any parsers/iterators to just use the iterator-like
ability of file handles? Writers would have to function slightly differently,
but since file objects, StringIOs and any other file-like objects must provide
an __iter__ method, it's probably a good idea to take that into consideration
when developing a common interface. In addition, writers could output iterators
or generators, so that they can be chained together to operate on files.
