I very much like this. I didn't even know about the SequenceInputStream until a few days ago, so this would have way more visibility. And then it could just delegate to SequenceInputStream under the hood. I like it a lot.
It looks like Jaikiran gave me a task to go search up other libraries and see where and how SequenceInputStream is being used. I will start that next week and respond onto this thread with my findings. This is my first time doing this, so any suggestions on strategies would be appreciated.
