I have had another look, and I believe the state of the API is now much
nicer than it was when I looked at it first.
I suppose that you might want to have a look at adopting already streams
in PHP (such as php://stdout na php://stderr), but I am not sure how
that could interact.
I guess it makes sense to add it to PIE, as PECL does no longer accept
new packages.
