#960: Need API to box and unbox FILE* pointers as Scheme ports

 Reporter:  johnwcowan      |       Owner:         
     Type:  defect          |      Status:  new    
 Priority:  major           |   Milestone:  someday
Component:  core libraries  |     Version:  4.8.x  
 Keywords:  C, ports        |  
----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
 The C API should be able to box a FILE* as a Scheme input port or output
 port.

 There should also be a way to extract a FILE* from a Scheme port, or NULL
 if the port is not file-based.

 Ideally this should be done by extending the list of foreign type
 specifiers.
