Most of what I do involves financial messages, which tend to be small, 
and come in many different encodings and formats.  So what I usually 
need to do is read until EOF (from a file, a socket or whatever), 
convert the data to a Unicode string, and run it through some kind of 
parser (e.g. an XML parser).  Going the other way, I have a Unicode 
string, and I just want to convert it to bytes and write it to a file or 
socket.  That covers 90% of what I do with I/O.
