I typically use pipe() in these circumstances which avoids using any

It should work with filterFastq assuming it can read from connections
rather than just files, but I have not tested it to be sure.
these solutions don't work on windows or with compressed files (though zcat
*fastq | gzip out.fastq.gz would, I guess) and don't filter reads (I guess
that's what Ryan means by 'duplicating storage', i.e., concatenate then filter
in two separate steps).
filterFastq is expecting character vectors for file names, rather than
connections (at least for input), but to accept connections is I think straight
forward (the underlying FastqStreamer works on connections) so I'll update that...
I think filterFastq should be at relative efficient in both space and time,
though obviously cat and friends are highly optimized and use minimal memory.

That's not ideal because it's duplicating storage unnecessarily

This is one instance were a system or simple unix command is very easy
