TBH it's not obvious to me that this is worth doing. It
would certainly be possible to have a buffer and use
read/write on it, but since it's actually a text file of
lines with fields of known format, which is about the only
thing stdio is useful for, it may as well stay. In
particular, stdio's buffering may well be the most
efficient way to do this.
