There are four reasons that many programmers would give for not trying
to improve on Listing 1.4:
**1.**  The code is already fast enough.
**2.**  The code works, and some people are content with code that
works, even when it's slow enough to be annoying.
**3.**  The C library is written in optimized assembly, and it's likely
to be faster than any code that the average programmer could write to
perform essentially the same function.
**4.**  The C library conveniently handles the buffering of file data,
and it would be a nuisance to have to implement that capability.

I'll ignore the first reason, both because performance is no longer an
issue if the code is fast enough and because the current application
