Please be aware that this is an extension not supported by all
compilers. Among those that do support it, the exact spelling varies.

The functionality is finally standardized (as access='stream') in f2003.
That standardization is overdue in my opinion. It is painful to attempt
to deal with this kind of thing with any reasonable portability prior to
f2003.
