True, the contents of a FakeFile is a string, which you might call
buffer. But implementing unread() and ungets() would require another
buffer on top of it, so you'd have to add much of the Stdio.FILE
implementation on top of FakeFile too. I think a good solution would
be if Stdio.FILE and FakeFILE shared the same implementation.
