Plain file stream reads data by php_stdiop_read() http://lxr.php.net/xref/PHP_5_6/main/streams/plain_wrapper.c#338 As you can see there is no way to return errors from it. We need errno like error handling for PHP streams to propagate errors as well as more robust code for unexpected. So answer for 3 is "we need volunteers" for improvement, I suppose.
