Re: request for review: Doing direct file I/O in Emacs Lisp

I deliberately decided not to add this feature to Emacs because it
tends to lead to a demand for lots more features to "make it
complete", and that ultimately leads to a lot more complexity.  For
most purposes, reading files into buffers is just as good.

Why do you think we should add this feature now?
