I implemented the "write" side of this proposal and committed it to CVS,
along with regression tests and documentation.

The "read" side is slightly more work but I can do this one too if
people want it.  I'm not sure there's much advantage to it over $(shell
cat <file>) as this is unlikely to be a performance bottleneck.
Although from a portability and implementation alignment point of view
it would be useful.
