You can apply all string or list functions respectively on the contents of the file and lazy evaluation assures a streaming behaviour of the complete process. Though I'm afraid, seeking won't work this way.
That also won't work for bidirectional things, such as network communications, disk files opened read/write, gzip files, etc. -- John
