Text output
===========
Idea: Make output streams look like strings!
Advantages:
+ Easy to use / understand
+ Can be buffered
+ Can be outputted when buffer is full
+ C++ programmers will find it familiar ("os <<" vs "os +=")
Disadvantage:
- Does not support translation properly!
Failures to flush the buffer when performing an += operation causes an
asynchronous failure. Failures could be configured in 3 modes:
1. Cause the whole "isolated arena" to fail (typically the whole process, or
the request in servers), just like a divison by zero or integer overflow.
2. Defer the error until .close() or .flush() is called
(and perhaps have a .signal_errors() function)
3. Ignore the error.
These 3 may need to have separate types, but "converting" to a lower number
is fine. In case 1, a "risky" block should be required at both the += and
close/flush calls, and in case 2, only in the close/flush calls.
Example:
func write_stuff(arena, string name, int numbers)
{
own OutputStream os = .open_console_out(arena)
os += "Hello " + name + "\n"
for int i in .range(0, numbers-1) {
os += i + ": Test\n"
}
os.close()
}
