: I don't think the task wants any of the above. Seems the goal is to define stream-like objects where each one's output can be taken up by another as input, and the task's focus is to device a mechanism to drive data through such a chain. BTW, since data flows unidirectionally, it definitely does not require coroutines, all you need to do is have the object at the output end to pull data from upstream on-demand. The problem of the task: it's asking to much. Tail, head, uniq, sort, grep, wc, file io, subshell, redirect-in, redirect-out, pipe -- it's what, reliving 40 years of unix experience in a flash? --[[User:Ledrug|Ledrug]] 02:04, 13 September 2011 (UTC)
