Aha, thanks.

It seems this code is not part of the regular releases. Is it scheduled to become \
part of a future release?

Should I just pull the most recent code from the git-hub master branch to get \
read-only functionality? What would be the disadvantages of doing that -- I assume \
there is a reason for leaving the file stream (and other new files) out of the 1.x \
releases so far?
