As I said, it merely changes the buffering from 
"when it reaches x bytes" to "whenever I send it something." 
There may be circumstances where buffering is desired, 
but, IMO, 99% of the scripts in the world do not need 
the default buffering, hence my opinionated "way better" 
statement.

Nothing. I was just pointing out a neat feature of perl 6 
that applies to file handles.
