In fact, I'm a big proponent of using URIs instead of filenames where
possible. It can even provide a more portable way of saying
\\sambaserver\share, in smb://sambaserver/share, which can be translated
to whatever the system supports, possibly failing because it's just not
supported.

"IO" used in this way denies that there's non-stream-based IO too.
Waiting for a certain wire to get shorted is input too, as is writing
directly to graphic memory a form of output.
